We laugh at Sauron for not realising a golden-haired Aman elf with the audacity to challenge a fallen Maia with song can only be Finrod at this point, and conclude that Finrod's spell must have worked in part -- but I've never heard anyone ask how on earth did he never come up with the idea that Celebrimbor might have given the three rings to his three remaining family members!

Who made the spell this time?

#was it an aftereffect of that long ago contest that sauron would always have his mind clouded when dealing with finweans from now on?#<- that's a joke though and not a good one #maybe he thought he had succeeded in alienating Celebrimbor from the rest enough that he'd never do this...#now I'm mad at him #...of course it could just be that a Fëanorian giving the works of his life two to Nolofinweans and a daughter of Finarfin #is definitely newsworthy #//#my post #Celebrimbor #Tolkien #Silmarillion #silm
