The Phial Of Galadriel

Also known as: The Star-Glass, The Light Of Earendil

Galadriel's parting gift to Frodo: a crystal phial holding the light of Eärendil's star — the light of the last Silmaril — caught in the waters of her fountain. May it be a light to you in dark places, she said, when all other lights go out. In Shelob's lair it blazed like a star descended, driving back a darkness older than Sauron; before the eyes of the Watchers at Cirith Ungol it broke their will. Frodo bore it over the sea at the last, the one treasure of the Quest he kept.
