What was Gandalf's ring called? Wasnt it commonly called the ring of fire or something? And the other rings were in the hands of Galadriel, and Elrond, too right?

The ring of Gandalfs' was Narya the great,given to him by Cirdan at the Grey Havens when Gandalf first arrived in middle earth. Its' stone being described as 'red as fire' There's a Johnny Cash song called "Ring of Fire"

Just because I have to show off my knowledge of LOTR...

The Three Rings of the Elves are Narya, Nenya, and Vilya: the Rings of Fire, Water, and Air. They were borne by Cirdan (who later gave his to Gandalf), Galadriel, and Elrond, respectively.

Yeah, I'm done. Sorry. Just had to do that.

Yes, LOTR is not my expertise. TCTC and CoN (new Narnian acronym) are my favorite fantasy. further up and further inEdited by: mhoram6910 at: 9/12/02 12:03:50 pm

Foamfollower's answer is correct as far as The Third Age is concerned, but incorrect with respect to The Second Age. When Celebrimbor forged the Rings he gave one to Galadriel. She advised him to send the other two from Eregion, which he did by giving them to Gil-Galad. Gil-Galad, during the Last Alliance, gave these two rings to Cirdand and Elrond.

All the above comes from "Concerning Galadriel and Celeborn" in Unfinished Tales.

Unfinished Tales is still on my to-be-read list...thanks for the correction.

Yes, JRR Tolkein left behind a fascinating world for us to revel in. Don't let the plethora of names bog you down in the silmarillion. There are many brilliant stories inside.

The Simarillion is one of THE coolest books ever written--I need 2 read it again, and soon!! The true human being is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star. He is the exploding singularity with infinite possibilities.
