What power is Elrond referring to?

Elrond refers to a power that is still present that protects the Shire, as well as Rivendell. What source of power is he talking about? Re: Council of Elrond chapter?

Have you finished the Lord of the Rings yet? I've a pretty good idea of what he means, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

Excellent.

He's probably talking about the Dunedain of Arnor, Rangers like Aragorn and Halbarad who guarded the Shire in particular and Eriador in general from enemies. At least, that seems the most likely answer to me.

It could also be Vilya, the Elven-ring Elrond carries, but that doesn't have much to do with the safety of the Shire.
