Morgoth's Ring

Morgoth's Ring is the tenth volume of Christopher Tolkien's 13-volume series The History of Middle-earth in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father J.R.R. Tolkien. Released in 1993, Morgoth's Ring is the initial volume of the sub-series The Later Silmarillion, bearing The Legends of Aman as a subtitle; it provides detailed writings and editorial commentary pertaining to Tolkien's cosmology that eventually would become The Silmarillion. This book mentions a few characters excluded elsewhere, such as Findis and Irimë, daughters of Finwë.
The title of this volume comes from a statement from one of the essays: "Just as Sauron concentrated his power in the One Ring, Morgoth dispersed his power into the very matter of Arda, thus 'the whole of Middle-earth was Morgoth's Ring'".
