No, Barahir's Ring was given to Aragorn by Elrond when he reached manhood. Elrond fostered all the northern king's sons, and kept certain of the royal insignia against the day when they would be needed again: "and there were kept also the heirlooms of their house: the ring of Barahir, the shards of Narsil, the star of Elendil, and the sceptre of Annuminas." (Appendix A, p1080) Besides, Barahir died in a land battle... orcs, IIRC... and his son Beren reclaimed the hand with the ring that the orc chieftain had taken as a trophy. That's in the Silmarillion. As Cooler says, there are various "elven" and "dwarven" fonts available on the free font sites. I've foung 4-5 but haven't played with them yet. Hmmm... maybe those of us who are meek and humble and unconcerned with domination wouldn't want to actually wear the One Ring... but I can think of a couple of people whom I wouldn't mind seeing in Gollum's cave all dank and naked and miserable. ::not a very nice smile:: Carolly
