Quite - let's not forget the the fire of Narya was not mainly just the physical fire, but the so-called "kindling of the spirit" (and I guess that was more important than the physical fire itself!). I guess there was quite a lot about it somewhere - either in the "Of the Rings of Power and Third Age" or in the Istari essay.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I reckon said spirit-kindling is the chief role that Narya plays in LotR.

I finished the paper, so thanks again for the assistance.

Maybe you want to read it? If so, it's over here.

Great stuff, Gwath, I learned a lot from it. It might already be long enough, but maybe you want to mention each Ring of Power had a stone set in it. I don't know enough about the details, but you might be able to uncover more if you look at the stones set in the three Elven Rings and see what symbols Tolkien is playing with. Either way I think it's a strong paper, and it progresses smoothly too, it doesn't jump all around (a quality my papers tend to have ).
