“The Ring is . . . well, think of a dark lord, Ron. Something like Voldemort, only worse, because instead of being a wizard, he’s more like a god. He tricked the leaders of his world into accepting magic rings that they thought would make them more powerful, and they did. But he also made a ring for himself, in secret. He put all of himself into this Ring, all his cruelty, all his hatred, everything that made him evil and horrible, and in making the Ring he gained power over the other rings, which gave him enough power to wage war on Middle-earth and take it over."
She paused for breath, and a glass of water appeared on the bar. She drank from it gratefully.
