It was the ring of Barahir, a trothbond from Felagund, passed down from elendil through the generations of the heirs of Arnor (including its gift to and redemption from the Lossuth).

Well I suppose that if Felagund got it from his father, then the stone would have been clear and colorless unless exposed to starlight when it would dazzle the eye with splendors of silver and blue.

I'm going to go ahead and answer this one:

The ring was in the fashion of 2 serpents, one devouring and one supporting a crown of golden flowers.... they had emerald eyes.....


Next question:

Who did Ringil strike seven times?

The mighty Spear of Gil-Galad might have been found with him at his first dwelling in Falas, then after the ruin of the country at the Isle of Balar.

Technically right. But I should have mentioned that I also meant an Aeglos different than Gil-Galad's spear. This is one of the two in question.

The word Aeglos actually means 'snow-point' -- could it be the peak of a mountain? In the Hithaeglir, maybe.

I'm terribly sorry I forgot to point out that the answer to Aeglos(2) lies in the Unfinished Tales.
Taimar, you are right that Aeglos(2) is a flower.
Whoever finds out first where it grew gets to ask next, I'd say.

Veantur was the first Numenorean to sail to Middle-Earth. I am not sure, but I think his ship was called Entulesse, which means `return`.

I am going to assume that you mean &quot;Middle Earth&quot; and not Numenor. If you did, then the name of the ship is Numerramar (another of Veantur's).
