=== Aeglos ===
'''Aeglos''' ([[Sindarin]] "Snow Point" or "snow-thorn") was the spear of King Gil-galad of the [[Noldor|Noldorin Elves]]. He was slain during the War of the Last Alliance, and the fate of Aeglos after his death is unknown.

The '''Arkenstone''' was a large white gem shining with an inner light, found by the [[Dwarves (Middle-earth)|Dwarves]] beneath the [[Erebor|Lonely Mountain]]. When the dragon [[Smaug]] conquered Erebor it was lost. Upon the return to Erebor in ''[[The Hobbit]]'' it was sought for by [[Thorin Oakenshield]], but found by [[Bilbo Baggins]] in the dragon's hoard. Later Bilbo offered the Arkenstone to the besieging armies as a bargaining tool to trade Thorin for a part of the treasure, to avoid bloodshed. After Thorin was slain in the Battle of Five Armies, the Arkenstone was placed on his tomb along the sword [[Orcrist]].

[[Bilbo Baggins]] began writing the story of his journey titled '''''There and Back Again''''', which is also part of the full title of the published ''The Hobbit''. The story of the War of the Ring and the events of ''The Lord of the Rings'' were begun by Bilbo and mostly written by [[Frodo Baggins]], titled '''''The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King'''''. Added were three volumes of '''''Translations from the Elvish, by B.B.'''''. The Red Book was given to [[Samwise Gamgee]], who added the events of the beginning of the [[Fourth Age (Middle-earth)|Fourth Age]], before passing it on to his daughter Elanor. The Red Book was also copied several times, kept by the Shire and the Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor.
