Ring Quest I: The Nine: Black Riders.



Ring Quest XVIII: The Three: Nenya


The ring Nenya, was made of mithril and adorned with a "white stone," presumably a diamond. Also called Ring of Adamant, Ring of Water and the White Ring, it was wielded by Galadriel of Lothlórien, and possessed radiance matching that of the stars. Nenya's power gave preservation, protection, and possibly concealment from evil. Galadriel used these powers to create and sustain Lothlórien, but it also increased in her the longing for the sea and her desire to return to the Undying Lands.

This cache is hidden in thick woods. It’s an easy quarter-mile hike along a trail until the last 250 feet or so, which will require you to find your way around some fairly thick vegetation. Sturdy shoes, long pants, and drinking water are highly recommended!

The cache is hidden in an Elvish spot and contains information needed to find the final cache and retrieve the One Ring. The clues are in the Elf alphabet of Tengwar, so bring something to make notes on.
