'''Vilya''', the Sapphire Ring or the Ring of Air, was one of the Three - rings of power forged by the [[Elf (Middle Earth)|elves]] in the Second Age which were free of [[Sauron]]'s taint. Vilya's original guardian was the elven king [[Gil-Galad]]. Gil-Galad, before his death in the [[Siege of Barad-Dur]], passed the ring to [[Elrond]].
