Just to continue, upon the arrival of the Istari in Middle-Earth, Cirdan gave Narya to Gandalf. He was the last to arrive. Cirdan did not really know him, but he knew that he came as an emissary from Valinor. Cirdan believed that in a way, Gandalf was the most powerful of the Istari, and believed that he could somehow do something concerning the war with Sauron, so he gave Narya to Gandalf. He said something to Gandalf upon giving Narya, but my RotK is beyond my reach right now, so I can't mention it. Just read the Appendix of RotK, somewhere there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
