Que artefatos são feitos de Mithril?

Além da camisa de cadeia de mithril de Bilbo, sabemos de:

• Nenya, o Anel do Poder suportado por Galadriel:

  On her finger was Nenya, the ring wrought of mithril, that bore a single white stone flickering like a frosty star.

  ^{Return of the King Book VI Chapter 9: "The Grey Havens"}

• A substância ithildin :

  Mithril! All folk desired it. It could be beaten like copper, and polished like glass; and the Dwarves could make of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel. Its beauty was like to that of common silver, but the beauty of mithril did not tarnish or grow dim. The Elves dearly loved it, and among many uses they made of it ithildin, starmoon

  ^{Fellowship of the Ring Book II Chapter 4: "A Journey in the Dark"}

  O único uso conhecido de ithildin foi o Portão Oeste de Moria:

  At the top, as high as Gandalf could reach, was an arch of interlacing letters in an Elvish character. Below, though the threads were in places blurred or broken, the outline could be seen of an anvil and a hammer surmounted by a crown with seven stars. Beneath these again were two trees, each bearing crescent moons. More clearly than all else there shone forth in the middle of the door a single star with many rays.

  [...]

  'They are wrought of ithildin that mirrors only starlight and moonlight, and sleeps until it is touched by one who speaks words now long forgotten in Middle-earth.

  Também está implícito que os Elfos fizeram um monte de outras coisas com mithril , mas não temos referências explícitas sobre o que elas podem ser.

• Presumivelmente, os Elfos usaram ithildin em outros lugares além da única porta, mas não temos nenhuma confirmação explícita. Parece provável que as letras da Lua dos Anões fossem feitas de uma substância não muito diferente da ithildin , uma vez que exibem características semelhantes:

  "Moon-letters are rune-letters, but you cannot see them," said Elrond, "not when you look straight at them. They can only be seen when the moon shines behind them

  ^{The Hobbit Chapter 3: "A Short Rest"}

• O Elendilmir original foi colocado em um filé mithril :

  [T]he Elendilmir itself, the white star of Elvish crystal upon a fillet of mithril that had descended from Silmarien to Elendil, and had been taken by him as the token of royalty in the North Kingdom.

  ^{Unfinished Tales Part 3: "The Third Age" Chapter 1: "The Disaster at the Gladden Fields"}

  É possível que o segundo Elendilmir, o criado para Valandil após o primeiro ter sido perdido com Isildur, também tenha sido feito de mithril ; no entanto, eu ainda tenho que encontrar evidências disso.

• Os capacetes da guarda da Cidadela:

  The Guards of the gate were robed in black, and their helms were of strange shape, high-crowned, with long cheek-guards close-fitting to the face, and above the cheek-guards were set the white wings of sea-birds; but the helms gleamed with a flame of silver, for they were indeed wrought of mithril, heirlooms from the glory of old days.

• A coroa no padrão de Aragorn:

  Upon the foremost ship a great standard broke, and the wind displayed it as she turned towards the Harlond. There flowered a White Tree, and that was for Gondor; but Seven Stars were about it, and a high crown above it, the signs of Elendil that no lord had borne for years beyond count. And the stars flamed in the sunlight, for they were wrought of gems by Arwen daughter of Elrond; and the crown was bright in the morning, for it was wrought of mithril and gold.

  ^{Return of the King Book V Chapter 6: "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields"}

• Na Quarta Era, Gimli forjou novos portões para Minas Tirith:

  After the fall of Sauron, Gimli brought south a part of the Dwarf-folk of Erebor, and he became Lord of the Glittering Caves. He and his people did great works in Gondor and Rohan. For Minas Tirith they forged gates of mithril and steel to replace those broken by the Witch-king.

• É provável que mais heranças de Númenor tenham sido feitas de mithril antes da Queda; Contos Inacabados observações de Tar-Telemmaitë, décimo quinto rei de Númenor:

  This King was so called¹ because of his love of silver, and he bade his servants to seek ever for mithril.

  ^{Unfinished Tales Part 2: "The Second Age" Chapter 3: "The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor"}

  Embora, com justiça, não saibamos se ele fez alguma coisa ou apenas acumulou o metal bruto.
