Nenya
itemNenya is an elegant ring that glitters like polished gold overlaid with silver light, featuring a white stone that twinkles as if the Evenstar had come down to rest upon the hand. It is the Ring of Adamant kept by Galadriel, presenting a cool starlight radiance. When activated it can emit a great light that illuminates only its wearer before the light fades.
Nenya, the Ring of Adamant, one of the Three Elven Rings forged by Celebrimbor, is wielded by Galadriel in Lothlórien, radiating a cool starlight that preserves the realm's timeless beauty against the decay wrought by Sauron. Introduced in *The Fellowship of the Ring* as an elegant band of gold and silver with a twinkling white stone, it reveals its power to emit a protective light upon activation. By *The Return of the King*, with the One Ring's destruction, Nenya loses its efficacy, compelling Galadriel to depart Middle-earth as her ring's preserving influence fades.
