Today, we cover his entire life, from his birth in Valinor, surviving fallen kingdoms in the First Age, to his founding of Eregion, creation of the Rings of Power, and the war against Sauron.

The western door of Moria did not stay closed that entire time. We know, for instance, that Gandalf used the western door to exit Moria during that time. Has anyone done a story on Tolkien mistake in using the word "Moria" on the western door, even though that name had not been used at the time the door was made?

Fun fact: Historically, blacksmiths did not take part in wars as a general rule. They were considered much more valuable making the weapons, tools, and armor that others used to fight the wars. Even when towns and cities were sacked, blacksmiths were often spared so they could continue to ply their trade for their new lords. This is, in part, why the last name "Smith" is so common.

So much death and destruction because of the inability to take rejection from a romantic interest in the stories of the Fall of Gondolin and the betrayal of his relatives against Luthien and Beren. Celebrimbor is a wonderful contrast to this in the way he treats Galadriel. Tolkien really did write him as such a noble and likable character, which makes his manipulation and fall that much more depressing.

To be honest, I first began to know the character of Celebrimbor when I started the Shadow series. They made me delve deeper into the character arc of Celebrimbor. I'm a real Tolkien fan, I really like the original Celebrimbor... but to be honest, I like the Shadow Celebrimbor better. It's maybe because that he gets more part to play in the game's storyline.... we get to know him better, even if that's not really part of Tolkien's works. But even in the game, something evil comes from Celebrimbor's creation... for example his New Ring. By the way, loved the video😊

I always think of the crafting of the Rings as the final curse of the Doom of Mandos, since Celebrimbor is Feanor's grandson. They were crafted to provide their wearers with the power and wisdom to protect their realms, but ultimately drove their doom. "On the House of Feanor the wrath of the Valar lieth from the West unto the uttermost East and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also. Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well"

He tries to convince his farther not to abandon Fingolfin and to not burn the ships, hands over the kingship to preserve unity, restraints his brothers multiple times and even unites the elves and men in the Union of Meadhros against Morgoth after Fingolfin made his desperate challenge. Tragically after the death of his closest friend, Fingon, his mental state seems to suffer and driven by the oath he leads the second and third kinslayings.

Maedhros, Maglor and Amras are all noble spirited. Amrod too, bending the story version. Also Caranthir had an usual amount of character development for a 1st Age character . Anyhow, I love the whole Fëanorian family

Can you make a video on why the elves had to leave Middle Earth to Aman after Sauron was killed? They had the power to live before they had the rings. What changed after that? The same question goes for Frodo and the others that went to Aman. Awesome video man! You're the best LOTR channel on KZfaq!

Shadow of War series was incredibly well made in my opinion. They used the lore while respecting it; creating an epic story out of it that is believable and in bounds for what i believe tolkien would have respected.

@@NerdoftheRings maybe also Elves that wished to go to Lorien and went trough Moria... at least most of them, not the Sindar... also think Galadriel passed them after a few times... but who knoes... Its just that Durin III and the Longbeards Dwarfs lived long after the downfall of Sauron, and grew richer inside the mountain for years... so they lived there after, they would probably come in and out sometimes trough the doors... for trading or something

Hello my frend! Another great story. Elves in video games and Tolkien lore are my fav race of people. I soak up any lore that delves into elves. After Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War game movies, i came here to learn about Celebrimbor. Although the lore from the games is not in the LOTR books it is also good because it runs in paralele with the ore and does not come in conflict with it. The story about how Celebrimbor is captured and tortured by Sauron is presented in the games but they also add a bit more lore to flesh out a nice story. I like the way the game devs created the story and did not step on the toes of the LOTR lore while doing it.

In Unfinished Tales the dwarves strongly imply the ring given to them by Celebrimbor was also untouched by Sauron. In my head canon I see it as the practice piece Celebrimbor forged before embarking on the creation of the Three. And if we go with that possibility would it then become the Ring of Earth completeing the elements theme?
