Lord of the Rings - Elves - Elven Rings - Nenya, Vilya, Narya

Learn some of the Ring-lore here!!!
The Rings of Power were forged by the smiths of Eregion in the Second Age.
The Three Rings, which possessed the greatest powers, were made by Celebrimbor, son of Curufin, son of Feänor. They were forged by Celebrimbor alone, and the hand of Sauron had never touched them, and therefore they remained unsullied.
When Sauron made the One Ring, Elves became aware of it and the Three Rings were hidden. Nenya was in the keeping of Galadriel, the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth. Vilya and Narya were at first guarded by Gil-Galad, the last High King of the Noldor. When the War of the Last Alliance began he entrusted Vilya to Elrond Half-Elven and Varya to Cirdan the Shipwright. The latter surrendered it to Mithrandir (Gandalf).
And the end of the Third Age, when the One was destroyed and Sauron utterly defeated, "the power of the Three Rings also was ended, and to the Firstborn the world grew old and grey. In that time the last of the Noldor set sail from the Havens and left Middle-earth for ever, and an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song."
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion. Of the Rings of Power.

Great job. By the way, did you know that all the rings, including these were forged because of Sauron? Though he never laid his hands on the Elven rings.

And please tell me what song is this? Its awesome, kinda majestic and independent and beautiful.

@OurFantasyIsland

Thanks!

Yeah, I knew that :-)

The song is In Too Deep by X-Ray Dog

I thought that Nenya, was the Ring of Adamant, not water?... or do they mean the same, Adamant and Water?

[EarwenAltariel]

@ElenaTheEldar

Yes, each ring had its name and a stone set in it: Nenya=The Ring of Water had adamant, Narya-The Ring of Fire had ruby, and Vilya-The Ring of Air had sapphire.

[ElenaTheEldar]

@EarwenAltariel

Oh ok... but what is Adamant?

[EarwenAltariel]

@ElenaTheEldar

Adamant is kind of a white gemstone. I guess it means the same as diamond (both 'adamant' and 'diamond' are derived from the same Greek word 'adamas' which means 'untameable'

[lotrfan0123]

This is incredible :') It really does send chills down my spine - especially from 0:45 onwards!

[MaidOfInnail]

I don't even know how to say how awesome this is. Such an amazing piece of work.

[paulblana]

awesome video,great job!!!Although i have a question...can someone tell me when did cirdan gave the ring of fire to gandalf?

[MymemoriezZ]

I see that there is too few relating information (they are quite disjointed) for you to illustrate the contents in this clip. But still, a thumb-up for your enthusiasm and creativity.

[sariel22ich]

For all who ask about the rings:

Nenya was given to Galadriel

Narya was the ring of Cirdan and he gave the ring to Olorin (Gandalf)

Vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad before the battle of the last alliance, because he knew about his death and Elrond was his best fellow.

So actually: The rings were given to Gil-Galad, Cirdan and Galadriel, but now, Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond wear them.

[Aranadhel]

@Sadistichick916 yep. Cirdan gave it to him.

[Sadistichick916]

Was Gandalf the owner of the fire ring? T_T

[ElenaTheEldar]

@EarwenAltariel

Thank you so much! I thought it meant diamond but i couldn't be sure... if you could... do you know why Adamant was chosen to be Nenya's stone?
