Narya the Hidden?
Quote:
Did Gandalf actually wear Narya, or did he wait to wear it until chapter 9 of book VI? “…Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly on his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great…” Does this indicate that Gandalf was not actually wearing the ring before this? If so, how does this jive with: Quote:
I did some research, but I couldn’t find a text that definitively puts the ring on Gandalf’s hand before the last chapter of Lord of the Rings. An aside: To what does the statement, "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor," (says Gandalf, II, 5) refer? I know what Anor means in elven, but what is the Secret Fire, and do these things refer to Narya? If these questions have been addressed before, please point me in the direction of the relevant thread. Thanks.
