Mithril: Difference between revisions

{{a|g|[[File:Mithril.jpg|450px|thumb|center|A cheeky little [[hobbit]] hiding yesterday.]]}}'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an apocryphal metal invented by J. R. R. Tolkien, which goggle-eyed little [[hobbit]]s hide under in ''Lord of the Rings''. It supposedly of Elvish origin. Resembling silver but being stronger and lighter than steel — so light, allegedly, the user doesn’t feel its weight — it is very adaptable and can easily be forged into a [[McGuffin]]. For example, if you thow it over yourself when the Nazgûl ride by they won’t see you because you will look exactly like a rock.<ref>My senior LOTR consultant tells me this was not a [[mithril]] cloak, but an ordinary grey Elven cloak given to them by the Lady Galadriel. Don’t care.</ref>
