Balrog's Death

Wreathed in fire, the Balrog raises his whip and lashes down at a dwarf. On one of the creature’s fingers is a ring of pure white gold beset with a light blue gem . Shield aloft, bearing the symbol, ð and on one knee the dwarf protects himself, simultaneously lunging his enormous black plain metal sword deep into the leg of the foul creature . The sword sparks blue, the multitude of dwarven runes glow purple and the wound left on the Tana’Ri appears significant. A young warrior in bright armour, carrying a shield with a rampant horse embossed in gold and jet, parries the Balrog’s spear with his beautiful, highly polished, flaming bastard sword. His companion, a sea elf, dressed in mithril scale mail leaps up and thrusts the glowing blue blade of a broad sword deep into the creature’s ribs. Another dwarf, with the symbol ڠ, slices off the Balrog’s finger that bears the ring with a giant battleaxe. During the blur of activity, Morwath hears the calming voice of elven song. Soothed, the battle seems remote despite its clarity. Suddenly, the song stops, the Balrog falters momentarily and each of the 3 races plunge their respective weapons into its body. The voice of Ynis can be heard, “Hail Erowin’s Force! May this hated Tana’Ri burn in the foul bottomless pit forever!”

Interpretation: Ynis (bearing Erowin’s Force) is present in the 3rd Age, as the Heroes of the Three Nations (bearing the three Swords of Power), slay the Balrog and recover the Ring of Air.
