| Light sources |
------------------------
The Phial of Galadriel
A small crystal phial, with the light of Earendil's Star contained inside.
Its light is imperishable, and near it darkness cannot endure.
The Star of Elendil
The shining Star of the West, a famed heirloom of Elendil's house.A white
diamond set as a star in a silver fillet to be bound at the forehead.
The Arkenstone of Thrain
A great globe seemingly filled with moonlight, the famed Heart of the
Mountain, which splinters the light that falls upon it into a thousand
glowing shards.
The Anchor of Space-Time
A powerful stone that provides a strong light for any who wields it. It is
rumoured that it may even protect the wearer from the passing of the time.
The Key of Orthanc
The key to the tower of Saruman, which fills your mind with images of
knowledge and dreadful understanding. It is not a regular key - it is a
perfectly round stone that is meant to fit into a hole. It can be used to
light your way in the dungeon as well.
The Feanorian Lamp of Taniquetil
This holy lamp once belonged to a seeress who warned Ar-Pharazon ofthe
dire fate Numenor would suffer for daring to break the ban against
mortals' entering the Blessed Realms alive. The king had the seeress
executed and discarded her possessions--but rumors persist that a source
of pure vision, untainted by Sauron's darkness, lies hidden away somewhere
on Arda.
The Palantir of Orthanc
A shining white ball of unbreakable crystal, the ancient Palantiri were
used by kings of Numenor and later by the Exiles for rapid communication
between distant lands. Nothing is hidden from one who gazes into a
Palantirobserver, as was Sauron when Saruman tried to spy on him with this
particular Palantir.
The Palantir of Minas Ithil
A shining white ball of unbreakable crystal, the ancient Palantiri were
used by kings of Numenor and later by the Exiles for rapid communication
between distant lands. This Palantir, however, was taken by Sauron long
ago, and mastered to his evil uses, to the destruction of all others who
would gaze into it.
The Black Banner of Gondor
A large banner of pure black, strangely gleaming with a dark light that is
faint and at the same time so bright it attracts attention.
The Pearl 'Nimphelos'
It was a gift from the Falas-Elves to the Naugrim who built Menegroth, the
abode of Thingol and Melian. It shines like starlight on the waves of the
sea.
