It's just an inverted sentence akin to me saying, "A malfunction in the new package is the problem."

That’s your view and that’s fine for you. But to me that sentence is
1. Not the way people spoke when Tolkien wrote the book
2. And therefore is a conscious attempt to sound archaic
3. And so is an example of writing with a false voice, solely to give your work a mythic tone that the quality of the story and writing should give it.
