Ithildin

Ithildin

Ithildin was a type of specially crafted mithril that only the most experienced craftsmen of the Noldor could learn how to make it and pass it on to others. It was made out of extremeley refined Mithril, which was thinned out to the point of being a sort of lining for which things could be laced with. It was so thin that it could be used by inscribers to write special runes, known as moon-letters, such as those on Thorin Oakenshields map.
