Rhinegold

Gold guarded by the Rhinemaidens which is on a rock in the Rhine river. When the dwarf Alberich tries to catch them but fails, they tell him the Rhinegold can be forged into a ring to rule the world by the renouncing of love. Alberich renounces love, steals the Gold, and forges the ring. The Chief God Wotan takes the ring from Alberich, but doesn't return it to the Rhinemaidens, as he needs it to pay the Giants Fafner and Fasolt for building Valhalla. The ring is finally returned to the Rhinemaidens by Brunnhilde.
