I guess Angmar will easilly take Annúminas from Bree and you will have the opportunity to retake it. Perhaps the Gwaith-i-Mirdain can be restored to its former glory, just as Arnor will! It will bring me great honour to cleanse Eregion of this infestation, and return these lands to lord Elrond.

Today Ost-in-Edhil is a ruin, a shadow of its former past and infested with Goblins. He demanded their return and declared war on them, in the ensuing battle Eregion was destroyed and Celebrimbor was slain along with most of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain. When the elves discovered this treachery, they removed and hid their rings of power, which attracted the wrath of Sauron. The Gwaith-i-Mirdain found themselves betrayed however, for the dark lord Sauron had forged in secret a master ring, one ring to rule them all. Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

It was then that the smiths of Eregion and Sauron together forged the Rings of Power: And the Noldor, ever eager for more knowledge accepted his gifts and instructions. In the year 1200 of the second age, Sauron approached the Gwaith-i-Mirdain disguised as Annatar, The Bringer of Gifts. They settled in Eregion near Khazad-Dûm, for they worked closely together with the dwarves of moria in an alliance of friendship and peaceful commerce.įor hundreds of years they prospered and grew immensely wealthy, but Sauron ever hungry for dominion over Middle-Earth was jealous of their power. It was here that Celebrimbor, last of the House of Feanor, established the Gwaith-i-Mirdain, the guild of Noldor Jewel-Smiths. Loremaster Elrond has taught me and warned me about this place. In the South of Eriador, near the border at Dunland lie the ruins of Ost-in-Edhil, the city of elves and ancient capital of Eregion. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner.
