Ok I have just finshed ROTK but I still have some questions about that mysterious ship wright. First of all, why does he look so different from other elves? He has a beard and is said to have gray hair and look very old, but why? All other elves in Middle-Earth are youthful looking but he is not. Also, wasn't Cirdan the one that bore Narya in the first place? Maybe I am thinking of someone else but I could have swore I read about him bareing it. If he did have Narya, why did he give it to Gandalf? I was also under the immpression from others that have read the series that Gandalf gives Narya back in the end, or was my information false?
