narfforc, A_Brandybuck - Interesting information about Cirdan. Thanks. But when I spoke of Narya being an odd choice for him I was thinking more that he'd be more partial to water than fire and Nenya might be a more logical choice for him. But then, I can't really see Galadriel with Narya, either. But, judging by the quote above, "with it you may rekindle the hearts in a world that grows chill" I may be taking the references to the elements too literally, a tendency I have. It may be the fire of Narya was a spiritual fire and Gandalf's ability with flame was of his own powers apart from, and only complemented by, Narya. ("Only" being a relative term.)
Rod the Red - Yes, I see that. But what I was failing to realize was that he was the second possessor of the ring, not the first. He didn't make sense as the first possessor.
