For his efforts toward quenching the evil wrought by Sauron, Gandalf was entrusted to protect Narya, one of the three Elven rings. Also known as
The Keepers of the Three Rings, or Three Keepers, included Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond (and formerly Círdan and Gil-galad). They were the bearers of the three Elvish Rings of Power.
Narya (the Ring of Fire, the Red Ring), from Quenya nár, "fire", was set with a ruby. Its metal is not stated. It gave its wielder resistance to the weariness of time, and evoked hope in others. Its final bearer was the Wizard Gandalf, who received it from Círdan at the Grey Havens during the Third Age.
They were named Vilya, Narya, and Nenya after the principal elements of air, fire, and water (respectively). Whereas the other Rings of Power gave the power to control and conquer, and made their wearers invisible, the Three were different.
In the Third Age, Círdan gave the ring to Gandalf for his labours. According to the Unfinished Tales, at the start of the War of the Elves and Sauron Celebrimbor gave Narya together with the Ring Vilya to Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor.
Another aspect that the series explores is the decision to forge three rings. As Galadriel, Celebrimbor, and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) discuss after the process has already started, it is a way of preventing the concentration of power in a single being's hands.
The Three Elven Rings in Lord of the Rings were not created by Sauron, nevertheless their powers faded after the One Ring was destroyed.
The Keepers of the Three Rings were those who held the Three Rings of the Elves after their making, through more than 4,000 years of the Second and Third Ages. Originally the three Keepers were Gil-galad, Galadriel, and Círdan. Gil-galad gave his Ring to Elrond and Círdan gave his to Gandalf.
The Inverse Analysis — In Tolkien's legendarium, the Three Elven Rings of Power are eventually given to Galadriel, Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), and Círdan the Shipwright.
Galadriel has very strong magical powers, and she is said to be the greatest of the Ñoldor after Fëanor. The majority of her powers come from her Ring of Power, Nenya, the Ring of Water.
The rings were: 1) Vilya: Given to Gil-galad, the last of the High-elven kings of Middle-earth. He in turn gave the ring to Elrond who kept it at Rivendell until the end of the Third Age ; 2) Nenya: The only ring to have stayed with its original owner.
The Ring of Barahir, also known as Aragorn's ring was a Ring featured in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Though someone could start out with good intentions, the Ring would eventually corrupt them. And that is why Gandalf can't touch it. He is afraid that if he did, it would corrupt him and make him just as bad as Sauron since Sauron put so much of himself and his evil into the One Ring.
In the epic and fantastical world of The Lord of the Rings created by J.R.R. Tolkien exist many magical artifacts. However, very little is known about the three Elven Rings. The three Rings, unlike the remaining sixteen Rings of Power, as well as the One Ring, are not dark objects tainted by evil.
He had been through Moria (more than once), but if memory serves he had only gone East to West, never West to East. So when he came to this place before, he may not have realized it was a fork in the road as he was coming out if the fork, not into the fork.
I think most of the objections have been against Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova), who is the Black elf. He's one of the immortal elves of Tolkien's legendarium. The legendarium is, broadly speaking, the lore behind the universe explored in Tolkien's books.
Legolas is a Sindarin Elf from the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood. His father, Thranduil, is the King of the Silvan Elves living in that realm, making Legolas the Prince of Mirkwood.
Sauron (Sala Baker) directly made only one of the 20 rings, the famed "one ring to rule them all," although he assisted in the creation of the nine rings for mortal men and the seven rings for the dwarves. The three rings for the elven-kings were forged alone by Celebrimbor, with knowledge obtained from Sauron.
While the previous 19 rings were crafted with the help of the Elves, the final ring, the 'One Ring to rule them all,' was crafted by Sauron alone; with the ability to dominate the other rings, the One Ring was made with some of Sauron's own power, in order to make it more powerful.
They were corrupted to enslave the wearer to the One Ring. But the last three were made separately with Sauron's know-how but without his personal involvement. They laid bare the wearer's mind to the wearer of the One Ring, but didn't actually enslave them. And while the One Ring was lost, they were safe to use.
In early editions of The Guide to Middle Earth, Sauron is described as "probably of the Eldar elves".
The Tolkien scholar Verlyn Flieger writes that if there was an opposite to Sauron in The Lord of the Rings, it would not be Aragorn, his political opponent, nor Gandalf, his spiritual enemy, but Tom Bombadil, the earthly Master who is entirely free of the desire to dominate and hence cannot be dominated.
In the final minutes, Sauron confesses that he's been manipulating Galadriel since they first met — using her as a way to get back to Middle-earth to fight back against his enemies in the Southlands and indirectly form the land of Mordor but also to get closer to Celebrimbor and the Elven smiths.
When, despairing of his ability to destroy the Ring, Frodo offers it to Gandalf, the wizard immediately refuses because he recognizes the danger: "the way of the Ring to my heart is through pity, pity for weakness and the desire of strength to do good." Because the Ring is evil, the wizard knows that any attempt to ...
