Prologue: One Ring to Rule Them All

FOOTSTEPS OF DOOM
Text from J.R.R. TOLKIEN, adapted by PHILIPPA BOYENS, translation by DAVID SALO
(SINDARIN)
Man sí minna?
Man ammen toltha i dann hen Amarth?
I annan darthant dam morn
Si dannatha
((Who enters here?
Who brings to us this token of Doom?
That which has stood so long against the darkness
Will now fall.))
THE REVELATION OF THE RINGWRAITHS
Text by PHILIPPA BOYENS
Translation by DAVID SALO
(ADÛNAIC)
Nêbâbîtham Magânanê
Nêtabdam dâur-ad
Nêpâm nêd abârat-aglar
Îdô Nidir nênâkham
Bârî'n Katharâd
((We renounce our Maker
We cleave to the darkness
We take unto ourselves the power and glory
Behold! We are the Nine
The Lords of Unending Life.))
