Vilya
Type: Artifacts
Meaning: Air
Other Names: The Blue Ring, Ring of Air, Ring of Sapphire, The Ring of Air
Description:One of the three elven Rings wrought by Celebrimbor, Vilya, along with the Fire Ring, Narya, was given to Gil-Galad for safe keeping. Gil-Galad gave Narya to Cirdan but kept Vilya for himself.
At about the time of the founding of Imladris, Gil-Galad passed Vilya onto Elrond, who thereafter kept the ring with him and took it with him when he left Middle-Earth for the Blessed Lands.
