What Celebrimbor and friends didn't know was that Annatar was Sauron in disguise, and the ring-making classes he was teaching involved putting dark binding magic into the rings.
In this way, sixteen of the Rings of Power - nine for the kings of Men and seven for the Dwarves - were made. Annatar taught Celebrimbor and his group of jewel smiths the art of ring-making. In the year 1500 of the Second Age, a beautiful man calling himself Annatar showed up in Eregion claiming to be an emissary of the gods. which can be a very long time for elves.įorging Rings in secret was the equivalent of anonymous Tumblr messages.Ĭelebrimbor ruled the region of Eregion during the Second Age, where he struck up a working relationship with the Dwarves living in the mines of Khazad-dum, or Moria, which is seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring film. Thus, Celebrimbor would remained in Middle-earth for his entire life. Celebrimbor could not sail away to the Undying Lands - the land of the gods - with the most of the Elven race because of this curse. Mandos, god of death, had cursed the Noldor and Feanor's family for essentially being massive assholes and turning their backs on the gods. Thanks to a curse from the gods, disaster followed Feanor's family wherever they went - they were basically the House Stark of Middle-earth - which marked Celebrimbor for hardship even before his birth. He was the only known grandchild of Feanor, the renowned Elven craftsman who created the Silmaril jewels and invented the Tengwar script - that squiggly writing around the One Ring. The character was born sometime during the First Age of Middle-earth into the race of Noldor Elves (for reference, the War of the Ring occurred at the end of the Third Age). Who the hell is Celebrimbor?Ĭelebrimbor is introduced in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's textbook-like history of his world. Celebrimbor's presence in the game means that everyone should be paying attention. With this one character addition, this one plot point, Monolith Productions has proven the lengths to which they are willing to go to make Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor true to Tolkien's world, even though its story wasn't written by Tolkien himself. Celebrimbor's time in Tolkien's world occurred long before Thorin and his Company of Dwarves challenged Smaug for Erebor, and his work is directly responsible for Bilbo Baggins being such an excellent burglar due to his use of the one ring.
Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium.Ĭelebrimbor does not appear in the The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, which means most of Tolkien's modern audience will be introduced to this Elven warrior through the game, not through Tolkien's work. Monolith Productions revealed that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's mysterious Wraith character is Celebrimbor, the original forger of the Rings of Power in J.R.R.
