The legendary nine rings of Ourense Can't Post

Hmm, the 9 rings for mortal men doomed to die?

https://www.newsweek.com/...ia-discovery-1552131

And they were found in a bag....hmm ROP used a bag.

"Along with the rings, inside the bag were also stones and two documents, one of which said: "These four rings are of those that remained of the nine Holy Bishops. They are the ones that have remained. The others disappeared. Water is passed through them for the sick and they heal many."

So, hang on, [In reply to] Can't Post

they had 'miracle rings' that healed the sick and when the bishops died, they chose to bury the rings rather than continue to heal sick people? Who thinks that way?

That aside, the phrasing of 'nine rings' does catch they eye, doesn't it? Cool

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
