Gandalf's ring was Narya, the ring of fire. Nenya was Galadriel's ring, the ring of water. And Elrond's was Vilya, the ring of air, and the mightiest of the three.

Lalwendė, I just read your post more carefully, and I was wondering: Are these two statements related to each other, or are they separate thoughts?

...I also wonder whether in some way his 'power' was equal to or greater than that of Sauron.

Saruman carried out some very clever double-dealing...

The bit about Saruman's power possibly exceeding Sauron's caught my eye, and I wanted to know more what you thought, but since I don't think power and treachery are the same thing, I was confused. Are you saying that since Sauron didn't have full control, Saruman may have been greater? Or that Saruman's greater power is displayed in his masterful treachery? Or something else entirely that I missed?
