narfforc has been trapped in the Barrow!
I think that if Saruman still had his ring when he left Isengard, then he may well have been able to call on its innate power in some way to enhance the power of his voice. Maybe this is what Gandalf alludes to when he says, "but this snake had still one tooth left", and later Saruman himself may not have issued empty threats when he says, "But do not think that when I lost all my goods I lost all my power. If the ring had any power, then that power remained, as with The One Ring after Sauron was defeated, others used its power.

Rhod the Red is still gossiping in the Green Dragon.
I think the Ring of Saruman is what gave him the ability to produce Orcs, etc. How else can they be produced?

In games like the Battle for Middle-Earth they're produced from a pit.

I wasn't aware that Saurman ever crafted a Ring of power. Were is this juicy tidbit divulged?

It was not a ring of power.

It doesn't say anything about rings of power.

The ring however, maybe had some magic abilities, as it is paid so much attention.
