so, to recapitulate:

nenya, with galadriel, the ring of water, she used to create a microcosm of the blessed realm in ME -- lorien, where time flies by swiftly in order to ward off the sorrow and weariness of the undying elves.

vilya, with elrond, the ring of air, he used for healing and rest and, as a pre-requisite, to keep rivendell secret from the enemy.

narya, with gandalf, the ring of fire, given by cirdan to help him kindle the flame in their hearts and minds. there's an appropriate quote but don't have rotk with me.

thalionyulma- i think there is a chapter in the unfinished tales which both depicts and negates amroth being the son of galadriel and celeborn. if i remember correctly, christopher tolkien thought that his dad meant the latter to stand.
