I can’t put my finger on why exactly, but something about the Ring of Barahir really bothers me. In the 3rd Age Arvedui gives the RoB to the Lossoth as a sign of his gratitude to them for taking him in during the harsh winter, and it’s later recovered by way of ransoming it back.
It’s like...
It was given by Finrod as thanks for saving his life, and kept by the descendants of Barahir who saved him even after Beren “cashed in” on the favour during the Quest.
But when Beren’s descendant gives the RoB in gratitude, it’s ransomed back instead?
I don’t like it, doesn’t seem right.
