[Gil-Galad]

Well Caun, don't forget that the rings have mystical qualities, for example, Gandalf's ring, the ring of fire, can give men a fiery passion and enstow them to fight harder, the Nine Rings was more of a trap, Sauron tricked them, the rings gave them pwoer and probably made the people under the nine men lead under them, but the power was tied to Saurons one ring, and thus they became enslaved, forever dark servants.
