The Book of the Glyph of Mithril Shirt

The Book of the Glyph of Mithril Shirt
Bangerang Tolkien Custom



Glyph Bio - he origins of the shirt are unknown, but it came to be part of the Dwarven treasure hoard of the Lonely Mountain. It was found by the dragon Smaug and added to his treasure heap. Here it was given by Thorin II Oakenshield to the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, who wore it during the Battle of Five Armies. After returning to the Shire, Bilbo donated the shirt to the Mathom-house. Before departing The Shire for Rivendell, Bilbo retrieved the shirt and wore it on that journey. 

Many years later it was gifted by Bilbo to his nephew Frodo Baggins as Frodo set out on his quest to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Frodo hid the chain shirt under his tunic unknown to the rest of the Fellowship. It was discovered when, during a battle in the mines of Moria, an orc chieftain threw his spear at Frodo (Alternatively, in the Peter Jackson film it was a troll who speared Frodo). The shirt prevented what would have been a lethal wound, leaving Frodo severely bruised but still alive.
