IthildinThe magical substance known as ‘starmoon’A magical substance made by the Elves from mithril, that could only be seen by the light of the Moon and stars, and even then remained hidden until a magical word was said. Gandalf translated its name as 'starmoon', but 'moon-sparkle' would perhaps be a more literal rendering. The designs on the West-gate of Moria were made from this substance. Notes
