Gandalf’s speech to the Balrog - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

But it must be something that Gandalf wields. Maybe this is a little insight into the mysterious wizard staff. I agree that it can not be Narya. Gandalf would never have openly referred to the secret ring he bore.

By the way, I stand corrected on my linguistic reasoning. I had forgotten about Minas Anor, and the entry for 'nar' in the Silmarillion's Elements in Quenya and Sindarin Names. Anor is, in fact, the Sindarin translation of Anar, or The Sun. Many of you already knew that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Udun is Sindarin for Utumno, Melkor's fortress, so that makes perfect sense.
