Bright master lotr12/7/2023 ![]() Later, Celebrimbor was changed to a Ñoldo who had served Turgon in Gondolin and survived the Fall of Gondolin. ![]() In early accounts, Celebrimbor was a Sindar Elf instead, an ancestor of the minstrel Daeron who used the Fëanorian script. The Seven Rings of the Dwarves (with Annatar).But a long period of peace would not last, for upon realizing the trap which Sauron had devised for him, Celebrimbor was filled with anxiety and fear for his people, and was later described as the heroic defender of Eregion. Great friendship with the Dwarves of Moria developed, and skills and secrets were shared between Moria and Eregion for many years via the Elvenway. Mithril was mined by Dwarves in nearby Khazad-dûm, later named Moria. His love for crafts took him to Eregion, where he was introduced to a precious metal which he called mithril. He was described to have an "almost Dwarvish obsession with crafts" he became a famous artificer and smith in both Gondolin and Eregion. Unlike both his father and grandfather, Celebrimbor was selfless and kind, and neither prideful nor covetous of what he created. The name Celebrimbor is the Sindarin translation of his father name, of the roots celeb ("silver") and baur ("fist"). ![]() It comes from the words telpë ("silver") and quár ("fist"). His father-name was Telperinquar, which means "Silver fist" or "Hand of silver" in Quenya. It is unknown whether he married, no children are recorded. He was the last direct descendant of the line of Fëanor, save perhaps for his father's brother Maglor, whose fate is unknown and is said by some legends to still wander the shores of the Sea. ![]() Celebrimbor died from his torment his body was shot with arrows and hung upon a pole, and was later paraded as a banner when Sauron attacked the Grey Havens. Celebrimbor was captured in the chaos and was forced, under torture, to disclose the locations of the lesser rings, but he would not reveal the whereabouts of the three greatest of them that he had sent away for safekeeping. Sauron retaliated by attacking Eregion, laying waste to the realm. Celebrimbor also sent the mightiest of the seven to Durin III of Khazad-dûm. He sent the three rings away for safekeeping: Vilya and Narya to Gil-galad in Lindon and Nenya to Galadriel in Lórien. Celebrimbor named them Vilya, Narya, and Nenya after the principal Middle-earth elements of air, fire and water, respectively. These were the three Rings of the Elves, the fairest of the Rings of Power. The greatest of the rings (aside from the One Ring) were created by Celebrimbor himself, and these were never touched by Sauron and thus were uncorrupted by him, although they were still subject to the One Ring. Celebrimbor and the Elves of Eregion defied Sauron by withholding the other rings from him. When Sauron placed the One Ring on his finger, claiming dominance over all the Rings of Power and their bearers, the Elves knew his true identity and intentions. In secret, Sauron forged the One Ring, a master ring that would rule all the lesser rings, to enable him to rule Middle-earth via its influence over those who used the other rings. But unbeknownst to him, the craft taught by Sauron incorporated a binding magic into the rings.Ĭelebrimbor and Annatar forging the Rings Under the guidance and instruction of Sauron, the smiths openly made rings to learn the craft and Celebrimbor himself forged the three Elven rings without assistance from Sauron. Celebrimbor distrusted him, but the smiths of Eregion were deceived. He claimed to be an emissary of the Valar, especially Aulë, and instructed them in the art of ring-making. In SA 1500, Sauron, calling himself Annatar ("Lord of Gifts"), befriended the Ñoldor of Eregion. Unlike some of his kin, he remained in Middle-earth afterwards.Ĭelebrimbor settled in Eregion in the Second Age and started dealing with the Dwarves of the realm of Khazad-dûm. He fought and survive the Fall of Gondolin. After fighting in Nirnaeth Arnoediad, He fought in Sack of Nargothrond, and then escaped and traveled to Gondolin.
