metropolis_part_one has just left Hobbiton.
Pipe Why were the Silmarils so important?

I don't understand why the Elves would wage terrible wars and risk thousands of lives just so they could look at shiny jewels. Didn't these jewels do anything? Didn't they have any magical powers (other than allowing Earendil to get to the Undying Lands)? If not, then they just wanted them to look at?
