MS483 - Mithril Gold Status 'Annatar fighting
Celebrimbor' metal figures (primed).
This is September 2007's
Winning idea. It was suggested by Marcus Nolte.
Brief History:
Celebrimbor plays an important role as the
maker of the Rings of Power under the guidance of Annatar,
a fair guise of Sauron, also known as 'Lord
of Gifts'. But secretly, without Annatar's knowledge,
Celebrimbor created the three Rings of the Elves,
the greatest and fairest of the Rings of Power. These rings
were thus free of Annatar's corrupting influence.
At this time, Annatar was secretly
forging the One Ring which would enable him to rule Middle-earth.
Annatar reassumed his role as the Dark Lord and placed the
One Ring on his finger, claiming dominance over all the Rings
of Power and their bearers.
Celebrimbor and the Elves of
Eregion defied Sauron by withholding the
other rings from him. Sauron retaliated by attacking Eregion,
laying waste to the realm. Celebrimbor was captured in the
sack, and was forced under torture to disclose where the Nine
and the Seven were held, but he would not reveal the whereabouts
of the three Elvish rings. He had already sent the three rings
away for safekeeping: Vilya and Narya
to Gil-galad in Lindon, and Nenya
to Galadriel in Lothlórien. Sauron
captured the lesser rings and used them as instruments of
evil in later years, particularly against Men.
