Frodo's Awareness of Narya - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It's strange indeed that Frodo never felt the presence of Narya. Gandalf was given that ring to be able to rally and motivate people (including himself), it would be illogical if he would not wear it when Frodo was around.

Furthermore, wearing Narya would probably help conceal Gandalf and his actions from Sauron, similar to the other two rings. Another reason for Gandalf to wear it constantly.
If there was one moment when Frodo should hve been able to see Narya, it would be at the Ford of Bruinen: When Frodo put on the One, he was able to see Glorfindel in all his splendour, so why not Gandalf wearing Narya?

On the other hand,Sauron was not able to see what force was opposing him in Rivendell and Lorien. If the Three can be hidden from Sauron, then why not from Frodo too? He has not mastered the power of the One, and had not claimed it as his own yet.
