She wasn't the first. In the original lore Elves like Galadriel and Gil-galad did not trust the words of Annatar (aka Sauron) and warned the Elves of Eregion including Celebrimbor to be wary of him. Needless to say their warnings were not taken upon until it was far too late.

[@valthiriansunstrider2540]

@@death-king1834 But Celebrimbor never made nor stole the One Ring. Despite not listening to warnings, Celebrimbor and his people fought valiantly against Annatar and were tortured and killed in the process. The remnant went to Imladris. And Celebrimbor had no wife and no offspring to begin with. He was captured, flayed and used as a flag for Sauron's armies. These games villify him and Galadriel as well---and all elves by extension. It makes Shelob into some sort of burned prostitute who is wise, powerful and determined to stop Sauron and save Middle Earth. Tolkien and his God both do not approve of portraying good as evil and evil as good. These games are a disgrace.

[@Dylan-bc2po]

@@mrbencroft8251 BRUH! Elven Rings? Heard of it? They are untouched from Sauron, made by Celebrimbor in the canon!

[@silbernehand_]

Good to know facts: Sauron actually hated Celebrimbor and that for one reason: You see, he is a Maia, Tolkiens demi-gods, (like Gandalf, Saruman and the Balrogs) and as such was a servant of a Valar, the gods. He was a servant/student of Aules, the Valar of smithing, before following Melkor. As a perfectionist and student of the literraly god of smithing, he could not stand persons, who proofed to be better than him in this craft, which there were two over the all the years of his live: first, Feanor, creater of the Silmaril, the most beautiful gemstones in the world, which even Aules and the other Valar could not create Second, our Celebrimbor, whichs knowledge and craftsmanship were only second to Feanor, which he wanted to surpass To be honest, Sauron could not have created the rings without this badass of a smith While badass? Well, he eventually saw through the lies of Annatar, sadly to late, and forged the three rings of power for the elves alone and in secret, which are the most powerful, besides the One. Sauron later learned about those rings he could not controll and besieged Eregion, home of Celebrimbor, were he took him and his family as prisenors, took them back to Mordor, tortured Celebrimbor and made him watch the torture and killing of his wife and daughter. But even after beeing broken, in spirit and body, he never told Sauron the location of the rings, he never doomed his kind. As result, Sauron killed him in rage, sticked his naked body on a pike, spicked it with arrows and used this as a banner in the battles against the elves.

[@skunto]

where'd you get the wife and daughter part? celebrimbor was the last in the line of feanor edit: nvm, I found it. Its something that was made up by this game

[@silbernehand_]

@@skunto Yes, you are right, it is from the games, but I always liked this little addition. Of course, it could never be true, because Tolkien said the Eldar will only love once in their endless lifes and Celebrimbor (if I remember correctly) was in love with Galadriel, but she did not love him. So, I only implemented this little thing, because for me it has made this tragic character even more interesting, but anything else is of course from Tolkien original storys. Hope you don't mind ^^

[@ATalesTruth-]

Well Sauron was actually said to be the best craftsmen in all Tolkien’s works With Aule surpassing him and Feninor maybe better only because he makes what he did under aule and the valar And if Sauron has stayed on their side he would have made equally as Feainor

[@johns1625]

Celebrimbor was second only to Feanor "Among the Elves". In the beginning Sauron was roughly equal in forging to Mahtan, also known as Aulendil, which ironically is the name Sauron used in Numenor. Sauron eventually surpassed him before fleeing to Melkors side, feeling too constrained. But Mahtan never forged or crafted anything considered "magic" and also never forged weapons. Feanor was first to do that. Mahtan's daughter was the wife of Feanor. Sauron created Ringlore in it's entirety. Which is why any ring made this way would be subject to the One. Including the Elven rings. Celebrimbor had no hand in it's development.

This must've been in the early Second Age, for Sauron's 'fair' appearance was destroyed with the fall of Numenor. In that fair form, however, he has done more damage than in his Dark Lord form.

[@MyPrideFlag]

did you play Shadow of War? He has his elven form while he fights Celebrimbor and Eltariel. So they don't give a shit about this. Maybe they did in Shadow of Mordor a little bit more.

[@darthangarus2305]

​@@MyPrideFlag Well, he CAN take an elven form in Shadow of War, but it's clear he can't keep his true nature hidden anymore. Tolkien specifically said that can still shapeshift post-Numenor, but can only take dark, evil forms that show his evil. The "Angry Annatar" form he uses to confront Eltariel and Celebrimbor wouldn't fool anyone, no matter how handsome it looks. It'd be no different from taking on the form of the Black Hand again (or whatever the Black Hand's deal was in SoW). He's only using it to taunt Celebrimbor.

[@nicegye0091]

I say this again because it's funny as hell. The lotr nerds who want to find any way to shoot at these games for being unfriendly to the lore is hysterical because the game is mesmerizingly amazing and well done along with being creative as a game idea and allowing for new concepts to form out of it. The nerds that go and say "it's not canon or lore friendly" when tolkien lore is so inhumanly extensive and overdone making anything into anything would need so much revision and altercations and by then no one would care. Let's appreciate the fact that it's as visually appealing as it is and not argue over some lore.

[@thatEngineer758]

There's also so much gap in the written lore and stuff that wasn't continued, I'm happy with creators that have respect for JRRT's work to fill in those blanks or expand upon them - the fact that both games are visually inspired by the films gives some comfort that it can be canonical to them

I always wondered why sauron used a mace but after talking to my friend (who plays shadow of mordor) and after watching this now I know why HIS MACE IS HIS FORGE TOOL

[@tylerthorson2610]

how is the mace the forge tool? Explain please.

[@JesterHellequin]

Tyler Thorson 2 simple ways 1 his mace as we talked about a the party turns into the forge tool that he gives to celebrimbor and 2 if you see at the beginning of the video celebrimbor is forging something but he uses his sword not a forge tool so sauron might have used his mace the same way but he most likely used its forge tool form do you get it now?

[@rickblaine9670]

No it’s not. The Ring was ultimately destroyed by chance (a.k.a. by Eru Iluvatar) because no mortal or immortal creature could have found the strength to willingly destroy it. All they could do was bring it to Mount Doom, the rest was Iluvatar’s doing.

I would love to see Celebrimbor putting up an epic fight like this in the Amazon series against Sauron. It would be great to watch that Sauron had to kill Celebrimbor because he could somehow control the One Ring, perhaps, for he helped in its crafting or some other reason whatsoever. But Amazon portrayed him and his kingdom as weaklings. Poor guy could not even walk properly let alone fighting in the series. 😑

[@BKChannelworld]

The thing is Sauron should have seen Celebrimbor with the One Ring, because the One doesn't make you invisible in a classic sense, but takes you to a.... how should I say..... Ghost world?? The world of unliving? Anyway, Sauron, being a Mayar, was able to see that world.

[@lahoku]

BK-Channel it amplifies what is needed the most out of the wearer. Like Hobbits don’t have much natural defenses or strength so transporting their physical bodies to the spirit world is one of the things the ring does. But. Yes, In all wearers it eventually does eat away the body until there is nothing left on the astral plane

[@Rol-E-Roll-da_real_1]

Well shadow of mordor and war are not cannon, but in SOW we see Celebrimbor being an equal to sauron when it comes to dominion over the ring, so by the in-game lore (not cannon) it would make sense that sauron can not see celebrimbor when he is using the ring.

[@OmniverseTheory]

@@Rol-E-Roll-da_real_1 Exactly. Ppl are blinded by Tolkien works. lmao

[@Anonymous-mq1hh]

@@Rol-E-Roll-da_real_1 thats makes sense thanks for the answer i've been wondering about that.

[@darthangarus2305]

I think Sauron COULD maybe see Celebrimbor, but Celli is also now Flash-to-Sonic fast due to having the One Ring, as it amplifies everything about a host and Elves are pretty fast and agile. Sauron has the strength of a tank, but is just as slow as one too.

[@WeaverOfStories]

Having read the main trilogy of books and watching some vids on the one ring i find it interesting the ring gave Celebrimbor invisibility aswell as... Well, I guess badass mode. From what I saw the one ring grants its user what they desire most, since we only ever see it in the hands of hobbits in the books ( if im remembering right, been a little while) their greatest desire is to go unnoticed. Except partly in the case of Sam, in the short while he held the ring and just by carrying it around it was able to partly grant him a kind of terrifying aura. Sam spooked an orc into running away and sibsequently showing sam where Frodo was partly. Might be missing some details, might ne misremembering others, id greatly enjoy learning more lore ^^. Also, this version of Celebrimbor is definitely a favorite, it seems the games akso combined Celebrimbor and the last king of the elves, the one who sting was forged for originally

[@iceshivoya2665]

Some plot holes in this. The ring doesn’t make you invisible to Sauron. He can still see you if you put it on, if anything you shine like a beacon, like in the first movie. Not only that, but higher beings are more easily corrupted from the one ring. Thats the reason why Frodo was the ring bearer.

[@darthangarus2305]

First: Celebrimbor was still visible to Sauron to some extent, I believe. However, he was likely moving at Flash-level speed, because the One Ring amplifies everything about a being; elves are freaking agile and fast, and Celebrimbor is Feanor's grandson and came from Valinor. So he's basically moving at lightspeed, faster than Sauron can move. Second: Celebrimbor WAS corrupted. That is why he became a Wraith, and later became a bad guy. But the rings' corruption is subtle and slow, especially when the One Ring isn't in Sauron's possession.

[@gyttahilausk6669]

Because they care about the canon. However, here you can understand those who liked the game (me too). This game reveals characters in an extremely cool way. Atmosphere, surroundings. Also, the changes are added in a way that doesn't hurt the canon story too much. This is better than, for example, the new Star Wars
