For this trivia game, we start with 'A' and try and work through the alphabet as many times as possible using words from Middle-earth and then describing them.

CATEGORY: Weapons

Arwen Imladris’ last posted for "I":

Isildur’s Bane, Betrayer of the second Ring-bearer: A name for the One Ring. After Sauron's defeat in the War of the Last Alliance, Isildur Elendil's son took the Ring, and later journeyed northward with it to his kingdom of Arnor. Ambushed by Orcs, Isildur's small force was cut down, and he fled the battle wearing the Ring. It slipped from his finger, though, and so both Isildur and the Ring were lost.

My offering for "J":

Jewels of Fëanor – The Silmarils; at whose heart the radiant light of the Two Trees of Valinor was captured; hallowed by Varda so that any iniquitous hand touching them would burn and wither.
