Sauron, upon learning of Celebrimbor's rebellion, showed himself as he was, and after pronouncing the phrase written in the One Ring, advanced with great armies on Calenardhon, the territory that would be part of the kingdom of Gondor and then the territory that later it would be awarded by seneschal Cirion to Eorl and it would become the kingdom of Rohan. Development of the battle The fall of Eregion The march of Sauron on Calenardhon There Celebrimbor gave Nenya, the white ring, but the others were sent to Gil-galad, her nephew, who was the Supreme King of the Noldor, and lived in Lindon. Suspicious Celebrimbor spied on him while he had him and rebelled against him and went to Lothlórien, where Celeborn had recently gone, through the Khazad-dûm.

However, he needed to transfer much of his power to him, and thus he became dependent on the ring, because if it was destroyed, he would lose it.

Sauron, for his part, returned to Mordor and forged the One Ring in the Orodruin, to subdue the other rings and bind his powers to it. This forced Galadriel to leave Eregion by crossing the Khazad-dûm mines, but Celeborn stayed for a time with Celebrimbor, who disapproved of the rebellion.īut Celebrimbor, getting suspicious and at the peak of his power, forged the three elven rings, Narya, Nenya and Vilya, in Eregion, and he did it secretly and without Sauron's help, so that he never touched them or them. So, he decided to expel her from the kingdom and mutinied the Mírdain against him. However, Sauron could not fool Galadriel, who had suspicions of his identity. But he had better luck in Eregion, since Celebrimbor, desiring to surpass Fëanor in forging jewels and weapons, accepted the help of Sauron and formed the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, a very powerful brotherhood of blacksmiths in Eregion, and under the guidance of Sauron, they forged the rings of power.

Nevertheless he was expelled from Lindon, because Gil-galad, Elrond and Círdan distrusted him. They went to Eregion, opposite Khazad-dum and founded a kingdom.įor his part, Sauron in his desire to deceive the Elves, adopted the most beautiful form he could and called himself Annatar, Lord of Gifts. With them was a noldo named Celebrimbor, son of Curufin, fifth son of Fëanor, thus Galadriel's nephew. In the early Second Age, after the fall and collapse of Beleriand, Lady Galadriel and Celeborn left Lindon, where they had remained since the War of Wrath going south from Eriador. 2.2.3 Joint Lindon-Numenor-Rivendell attack.
