Message: <blockquote data-quote="Intrope" data-source="post: 1404217" data-attributes="member: 3591">That was recovered by Gandalf from the Mouth of Sauron. I think Sam ended up with it, actually--I'm pretty sure it's mentioned later, during the 'honoring the ringbearers' sequence.Gandalf might have taken this with him when he left middle earth. Or maybe not--he could have left it with someone worthy. I'm pretty sure this isn't clarified.Also, the tree Sam planted to replace the Party Tree is significant although I can't remember the name of it now (the Shire's the only place other than Lorien that they grow; this was part of Galadriel's gift)Boromir's sword is floating in an unsinkable elven boat in the Western Ocean. I suppose the boat could drift to shore somewhere. Frodo's boat is probably also floating out there (I think they pushed it back out after the split for Mordor). The third boat is probably still sitting on the shore near the Hill of Seeing.Definitely--As I recall, those were recovered in the book, too.At least 2 stones (of 9) are still around:Isengard's (which should be fully functional)Minas Tirith's (which will show you Denethor's self-immolation, unless you have a very strong will)Minas Ithil/Morgul's stone was probably at Barad-dur, and crushed under tons of rubble. (or maybe not--they're much stronger than normal stone)I think all other stones are flat out gone at this point, although I wouldn't be suprised to find that a North Kingdom stone was in the ruins of Angmar or Dul Gulder (Sauron's lesser fort near Mirkwood). I think this is actually mentioned (as lighting the way) when Frodo leaves middle earthActually, only 4 of the Dwarf-rings still exist (the others were destroyed by dragons as I recall). And all 9 + 4 are probably buried in Sauron's throne room. (I always had this mental image of the dark lord looking like a super-pimp; he's got what 13 gold rings on? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ) This is all from memory; I don't have a Sillmarillion, nor time to re-read it (darn) Hope this helps!</blockquote>
