{{a|g| | {{a|g|{{image|Mithril|jpg|Not Mithril but, look: most metaphors don’t bear close examination.}}}}'''{{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 throw it over yourself when the Nazgûl ride by they won’t see you because you will look exactly like a rock. | ||
FACT CHECK: My senior LOTR consultant tells me this was ''not'' a [[mithril]] cloak at all, but an ordinary grey elven cloak, given to the cheeky little hobbits by the elven queen Phyllis Schlafly. Don’t care. | |||
