It began with the forging of the Great Coins. Three were given to the Devs, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Shills, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine coins were gifted to the race of Hodlers, who, above all else, desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another coin was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Coin, to control all others. And into this Coin he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Coin to rule them all.
