The Ruaathiat, meaning "Star of Fire" or "Star of Flame" as the tale tells (written by yours truly), is a gem of the star-born, and gives to the keeper an immortal life, though without it, and without the grace of the Valar, a mortal life would be lived instead.
Dhodrimme is half elven, but having given her immortality of her elven lineage in sacrifice to save another, her immortality depended on the gem itself, the gem of her mother, who had been born of the stars and came to dwell in the form of an elf, the pendant being her life source for immortality. And so the Ruaathiat also held the beauty of the stars within its very bindings, for it accompanied that soul creature of the stars.
With the pendant, Dhodrimme would have the choice to lay aside an immortal life by simply bestowing the gem to another for safe keeping, though the gem could only give immortality to those of star-born lineage.
However there is still a secret concerning the gem which has yet to be unlocked, and a mystery still lies behind its glimmering surface...

Personal Note:
The Ruaathiat is a gem I personally designed and created so to speak... I went through several designs before finally being satisfied with the current one you see in the banner of this Forum. One day I do plan to have the pendant replicated from the drawn designs.
