Part 6/8:
As the forging of the Rings commenced, the Elves, specifically Celebrimbor and his artisans, inadvertently tied their creations to Sauron’s will. Despite their intentions, the Rings would ultimately reinforce Sauron’s dominion. However, Celebrimbor managed to create three additional Elven Rings without Sauron’s direct influence, intending the new artifacts for the beautification and preservation of the Elven realms.
Yet, as foreseen, the moment Sauron completed the One Ring and donned it, his true nature was revealed. The Elves, sensing his dark intentions, removed their rings in fear, understanding their misstep too late.
