A drawing of the inscription and a translation provided by Gandalf appears in Book I, Chapter 2 of The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Shadow of the Past". Normally the One Ring appeared perfectly plain and featureless, but when heated its inscription appeared in fiery letters. The writing uses Elvish letters, in a mode adapted to the Black Speech. The inscription reflects the One Ring's power to control the other Rings of Power. The words of the Ring-inscription are in Black Speech, a language devised by Sauron and used in the land of Mordor. Without it his power was significantly diminished. On the other hand, by binding his power within the Ring, Sauron became dependent on it. On the one hand, as long as Sauron had the ring, he could control the power of all other Rings of Power, and thus he was significantly more powerful. But creating the ring simultaneously strengthened and weakened Sauron's power.
He then forged the One Ring himself in the fires of Mount Doom. Sauron disguised himself as Annatar, or "Lord of Gifts", and aided the Elven smiths of Eregion and their lord Celebrimbor in the making of the Rings of Power. The One Ring was also known as Ruling Ring, the Master Ring, the Doom of Man, the One Ring, the Ring of Power, and Isildur's Bane. The One Ring could be used to control the wearers of the other nineteen Rings of Power, which were made by the Elf Celebrimbor and his people with the assistance of Sauron himself. It was created with the purpose of focusing and enlarging Sauron's power, which would allow him to become the overlord of Middle-earth. The Ring was created by the Dark Lord Sauron in the Cracks of Doom in Mount Doom sometime during the Second Age.
The One Ring is the greatest of the Rings of Power and the most powerful artifact in Middle-earth.
