Hey! I'm a bit confused, because i recently read the silmarillion and i think in there it said that Melkor/Morgoth created the one ring, but in LOTR it says that Sauron made it. Help please. And also what book shall i read after the silmarillion? I know some people will say The Hobbit, but the hobbit talks about the hobbits already being there, the hobbiton, shire etc gandalf and all. There has got to be something before, no?
