Possession of Narya

[Maéglin]

Yes... Tolkien's characters have an uncanny ability to pre-empt their deaths or things that will happen..
Halbarad comes to mind:

'This is an Evil Door,' said Halbarard, 'and my death lies beyond it.'

Also Huor predicted that his children and one of Turgon's would save them all just before he died (ie. Tuor and Idril = Earendil) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
