@@skycryztals Heck no. Titanium is light. Problem with it though is that it's difficult to work with and shape. It isn't diamond by any understanding but it's very resilient.

Thinking of how it's made and used, it is probably closer to adamantium than mithril. I just picked up on the phrase is all.

Mithril is one of my favorite things from Tolkien, and I often hope to find some whenever I play D&D, even though it has some different meaning there. I did often find it strange, though, that Moria's wealth was based on it, yet we honestly see very little of it, in the wider world. It certainly makes sense; even at only 10x gold, that's a price you would probably need to be a successful king to pay, but then where did all the things made of it go, that Khazad-dum became so rich for? They didn't mint mithril coins, to the best of my knowledge, and though elves in other lore love it, the elves of Middle Earth don't seem to have much of it, either. An assortment of helmets is fine, and the shirt was wonderful, but I hardly feel it would have made Durin's folk rich, if there is so little of it floating around "in the market". Still, a wonderful substance.

A couple of minor points. Vingilot was the ship he sailed TO Valinor with. Later, when he was there (according to Bilbo) "A ship then new, they built for him, of mithril and of elven glass." Also, I'm not sure we can be certain that Bilbo wasn't embellishing the story a little.

If only Bilbo had left it to him earlier, and Frodo had been wearing that Mail a few weeks prior when he was at Amon Sul, he wouldn't have been tormented quite as horribly after his quest and may have been able to enjoy home and his loved ones upon returning. That one note of Melkor resonates deeply and pierces through even Eru's greatest design, though the end of Frodo's life was probably brilliant, and any number of the Valar may have instantly healed him upon arriving in Valinor, an amazing honor; simply carrying the ring seemed enough to get him there and being wounded so just hastened his departure.. Sorry, I guess I just wanted to take a moment to lament for Frodo, because he truly went through some hard times- and while that is clearly recognized, the extent to which he suffered is often overlooked, and it's difficult to realize that it kinda didn't need to happen, poor guy. :'(

Should that had happened, and the mithril proving ineffective against The Morgul Blade, then it's not like the mail couldn't or wouldn't have been repaired in Rivendell upon arriving. They have smiths capable of reforging Narsil, I'm sure they could fix some mithril chain in this scenario, BIG IF, Frodo had it at Amun Sul and it wasn't enough to protect him from the Nazgul.

Story wise, if Frodo had been wearing the shirt he wouldn't have been so near to death that would require him to be spirited away to Rivendell in the coming days. And leave him in a coma for .. weeks? Instead, Strider's reappearance might not have been successful in driving them off. They left because after the stab, all they had to do was wait for Frodo to turn and then collect him. I'm not sure that fire really made much difference or that Aragorn being a descendent of a Numinorian king protected him from the Human king's rings. Strider wouldn't be much help once the Nazgul caught up and might actually be a liability. So Frodo gets stabbed and the shirt protects him. Strider shows up and for sake of story, drives them of and is immune to the control power of the 5 rings (4 were still looking). Arwyn shows up later that night to help. But the entire way to Rivendell would take much longer for them moving as a group and it is unlikely that they could fend off the 9 Nazgul (they all show up) each night until they make it to Rivendell. Having Frodo stabbed _and_ Arwyn showing up actually saved the others by making the Nazgul follow, which lets the Hobbits move with safety under Strider's direction. Remember, Strider knows the area, the location of Rivendell, and how to survive off the beaten path. The Hobbits don't.

The actual *who* it is doesn't make much difference in either book nor movie except that another actor doesn't need to be hired. Point is still that 1 hobbit on horseback with an elf travels a lot faster than 4 hobbits on foot with a guide. Earlier their secrecy protected them but at that point they've been directly located by the nazgul. Unless that encounter happened on Rivendell's doorstep it would be unlikely for them to make it there. And if it did then Rivendell would be a terrible place to rest with the ring and wait for others to arrive for the council. I think the way it played out with Frodo not having the shirt worked out fine. Much better than the complications that would arise if he had it.

could you do a video about Eol the dark elf next?

what is the name of the music that plays in the video?

I just had a vision of Saruman being so old, he forgot he was just an NPC and thought he was the main character. Searching for an hording all the good loot, choke-hold on the best trade routes, just selfish in gathering wealth and power, not really giving anything back to the world. Great video and you really highlight just how valuable, and yet misunderstood mithril really was. I loved the part about the elven smiths who were allied in trade with the dwarves. Thank you.
