Nenya, the Ring of Adamant, emerges in The Fellowship of the Ring as Galadriel's elven-ring of power, its white stone radiating cool starlight and capable of projecting a protective light around its bearer. Though absent from the narrative in The Return of the King, its significance persists as one of the Three Elven Rings whose power fades with the destruction of the One Ring, symbolizing the waning of the Elves' dominion in Middle-earth.
