* ''[[Dune]]'' had its Spice, a resource so vital that whoever owns Arrakis, the only planet that produce them, will have a huge power over other planets. Several novels have story arcs where someone attempts (unsuccessfully) to break the Arrakis monopoly on spice by transplanting a [[Sand Worm]] to another planet, creating a spice substitute, etc.
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'': The Ring, obviously.
** Except the Ring is not what the war is about. It is about whether or not people of Middle Earth will be ruled by Sauron. The ring is just one of the weapons.
** Also Mithril in the [[The History of Middle Earth|supplemental material]], and the eponymous silmarils in ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. And the dwarven treasure horde taken by Smaug in ''[[The Hobbit]]''.
