Vilka artefakter är gjorda av Mithril?

7

Den här frågan fick mig att tänka, i Hobbit vi ser Bilbo få en mithrilskjorta, som han ger till Frodo i Ringenes Herre .

Finns det några andra vapen eller rustningar som vi vet är gjorda av Mithril?

Förutom Bilbos Mithril-kedjeskjorta vet vi om:

  • Nenya, Maktringen av Galadriel:

    On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star.

  • Ämnet ithildin :

    Mithril! All folk desired it. It could be beaten like copper, and polished like glass; and the Dwarves could make of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel. Its beauty was like to that of common silver, but the beauty of mithril did not tarnish or grow dim. The Elves dearly loved it, and among many uses they made of it ithildin, starmoon

    Den enda kända användningen av ithildin var Moria West Gate:

    At the top, as high as Gandalf could reach, was an arch of interlacing letters in an Elvish character. Below, though the threads were in places blurred or broken, the outline could be seen of an anvil and a hammer surmounted by a crown with seven stars. Beneath these again were two trees, each bearing crescent moons. More clearly than all else there shone forth in the middle of the door a single star with many rays.

    'They are wrought of ithildin that mirrors only starlight and moonlight, and sleeps until it is touched by one who speaks words now long forgotten in Middle-earth.

    Det är också underförstått att alverna gjorde en massa andra saker med mithril , men vi har inga uttryckliga referenser till vad de kan vara.

  • Förmodligen använde alverna ithildin på andra ställen än den ena dörren, men vi har ingen uttrycklig bekräftelse. Det verkar troligt att dvärgens månbrev var gjorda av ett ämne som inte skiljer sig från ithildin , eftersom de uppvisar liknande egenskaper:

    "Moon-letters are rune-letters, but you cannot see them," said Elrond, "not when you look straight at them. They can only be seen when the moon shines behind them

  • Den ursprungliga Elendilmir sattes i en filet av mithril :

    [T]he Elendilmir itself, the white star of Elvish crystal upon a fillet of mithril that had descended from Silmarien to Elendil, and had been taken by him as the token of royalty in the North Kingdom.

    Det är möjligt att den andra Elendilmir, den som verkat för Valandil efter den första förlorade med Isildur, också gjordes av mithril ; men jag har ännu inte hittat bevis på detta.

  • Citadelvaktens hjälmar:

    The Guards of the gate were robed in black, and their helms were of strange shape, high-crowned, with long cheek-guards close-fitting to the face, and above the cheek-guards were set the white wings of sea-birds; but the helms gleamed with a flame of silver, for they were indeed wrought of mithril, heirlooms from the glory of old days.

  • Kronan på Aragorns standard:

    Upon the foremost ship a great standard broke, and the wind displayed it as she turned towards the Harlond. There flowered a White Tree, and that was for Gondor; but Seven Stars were about it, and a high crown above it, the signs of Elendil that no lord had borne for years beyond count. And the stars flamed in the sunlight, for they were wrought of gems by Arwen daughter of Elrond; and the crown was bright in the morning, for it was wrought of mithril and gold.

  • I den fjärde ålder smed Gimli nya portar till Minas Tirith:

    After the fall of Sauron, Gimli brought south a part of the Dwarf-folk of Erebor, and he became Lord of the Glittering Caves. He and his people did great works in Gondor and Rohan. For Minas Tirith they forged gates of mithril and steel to replace those broken by the Witch-king.

  • Det är troligt att mer heirlooms av Númenor gjordes av mithril före nedfallet; Oavslutade Tales kommentarer från Tar-Telemmaitë, femtonde kungen av Númenor:

    This King was so called1 because of his love of silver, and he bade his servants to seek ever for mithril.

    Men i rättvisa vet vi inte om han gjort något av det eller bara hämtade råmetallen.
