Aganhim’s Plight

Now we unfold the plot. Of old a dark lord came out of seclusion and rose against the Hylians. He was known as Aganhim. It is not known exactly what happened. All of Hyrule was in chaos. Aganhim and a massive army came suddenly into the country, almost seeming to search for something… or someone. His armies ravaged and ransacked the lands, and yet not a soul but his own men knew what it was he was searching. When he learned that a strange figure known as Alagbor was supporting the king of Hyrule, Aganhim made war with the people. He was too powerful to be repelled by the Hylians and he was pushing back them back into a far corner of their land. At the same time though, the tactics of the Hylians seemed familiar to that of a general defeated long ago… in a world far away, that world that was sealed now.
Despite these brilliant strategies, the Hylians were failing, and the future looked bleak for the once prosperous land of Hyrule. It is said that Aganhim and his closest henchmen were wandering down a forest road one day, burning it as they went along. Writings from Aganhim’s closest henchman, the only survivor wrote this:
“We don’t know exactly what happened, first there was one blocking the road, standing in our way, sword drawn, very menacingly. We don’t know what happened. They came so quickly. I did not dare to look back. There could have been dozens… or for all I knew, the greatest host in Hyrule. They got Aganhim. They. The Kokiri Elves.”
The Kokiri, who had long been known to aid the people of Hylia, had become involved in the war against Aganhim. With a mere fifty soldiers they had captured the most powerful menace in the world save Sauron himself. Hiding in trees they unleashed a torrent of arrows, killing all of the officers and their guard save the one who wrote the passage above.
Their ambush strategy had worked many times before during the war. When Hyrule Castle Town was besieged the Kokiri formed and trained a Hylian militia to oppose Aganhim. In this case they had ambushed Aganhim himself, just as they attack his supply lines. It worked. Whatever happened they got Aganhim. With the help of an Istari by the name of Saruman, they sealed him in a dark realm that became known as Aganhim’s Seal. Saruman also created a ring. He said that it would be for the better to create a way into the realm for whatever purpose. Though it must not fall into foul hands, for they would intend to release Aganhim. He remarked that Sauron’s great power in Mordor was based around his ring. Saruman believed that this power could be used for a purpose such as this and guarantee safety. Consequently, Sauron fell into shadow shortly after these events, thus beginning the third age. People began growing suspicious as some of Aganhim’s evil still lingered and never died out with the rest of him. They believe that it may be because of the ring, which was lost somewhere in Hyrule near the end of the third age.
