Re: The elements themselves

Interesting theory, lindil. So now we come to the question of the other Rings of Power. Do we know what powers these may have possessed? Sauron obviously managed to put some sort of "virus" into the making of these to corrupt them. The only reference I'm aware of to any other Ring's power was one of the Dwarvish Rings, the one worn by Thrór. When he passed it down to Thráin, he said this of it: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> 'This may prove the foundation of new fortune for you yet, though that seems unlikely. But it needs gold to breed gold.'<hr></blockquote>What do you make of this statement?
