A simple band of strange blue alloy, it is invisible when worn, like the rings of the Nazgûl. It may well have been an early experiment in making the Nine Rings. It fell into the hands of the Undead Petty-dwarven Lord Miffli of Cameth Brin, who used it to extend his life in Arda. Thus it is sometimes referred to as Miffli's Ring. Though the Petty-Dwarf gained immortality, it was at a price. One by one his kinsfolk died around him in the halls they had excavated, which they called Armoq-al-Wanu. Tales and legends suggest different origins for Miffli's ring: one recounts his heroic efforts at a forge long forgotten by the Khazâd, another tells of his challenge to the Dragon Angurth, and yet a third suggests that Sauron may have hidden beneath Cameth Brin during the centuries after the War of Wrath which ended the Elder Days. Whatever the truth, Miffli's Ring preserved the Petty-dwarf through the ages and gave him the power to command the undead spirits of his former companions, renamed the Ta-Fa-Lish by the Dunlendings.
