Good morning! Thanks for posting that quote, but you didn't add the part about how Celebrimbor was suspicious of 'Annatar' and so made the Three in secret. I think suspicion of fair-seeming dark lords ran in his family, since his grandfather, Feanor, did the same sort of thing with his Silmarils. (Wouldn't let Morgoth take them into protective custody, basically, thus triggering the whole big thing that left thousands of Elves dead, the Trees destroyed, the Silmarils lost, and the Noldor in exile.)

Good morning! Gil-galad and Mr. "Men are Weak" Elrond didn't trust him either. Here's the quote about Celebrimbor:

Therefore the Three remained unsullied, for they were forged by Celebrimbor alone, and the hand of Sauron had never touched them; yet they also were subject to the One.

Hmmm...double posts, saying nice things about Elves...I think I'd better go back to bed and try again tomorrow morning! :)
