Thanks Laliath, but isn't it in the appendix refered to as the Evenstar (being Arwen's last name as well). I would have to check and I could be wrong. Some of the Lost Tales stuff is contradictory, so we have to be careful. I think the LoTR appendix superseeds it.<P>Either way, the film makers are not trying to attach any powers beyond the symbolic to the necklace. In the directors/writers commentary during the scene where Arwen gives it to Aragorn, they make this clear.<P>H.C.
