But when I blended it, well, I never did get that orange I wanted. But I loved the onion flavour and had to incorporate that in the name. The specks of black , which come from Dragon Fruit seeds, gave me a sense of, I don't know, corruption? And what is more corrupting than Sauron?

From there it wasn't a big leap, linking "Onion" to "One Ring", and everything just fell into place. I wish I could remember what I wrote in the Elvish text, but I've since converted the glyphs to curves, so it's lost to me.
