In 1695 of the Second Age, Eregion, home to the Elven-smiths, faced Sauron’s wrath in the Sack of Eregion. It began when Sauron, as Annatar, deceived the Elves into creating the Rings of Power. But after secretly forging the One Ring, Sauron demanded the Three Elven Rings and their secrets. When Celebrimbor refused, Sauron’s army stormed Eregion.

Despite fierce resistance from Celeborn and Elrond’s forces, Sauron’s army overwhelmed them, eventually surrounding Eregion. Reinforcements from Khazad-dûm and Lórinand delayed Sauron, allowing Elrond and his forces to retreat to Imladris.

Ultimately, Sauron captured Celebrimbor, who endured brutal torture. While he revealed the locations of the Dwarven Rings, he refused to divulge the Elven Rings’ whereabouts. In the end, Celebrimbor succumbed to the torture, was shot with arrows, his body hung on a pole, and then used as a banner in Sauron’s next assault. Eregion fell, leaving only ruins that Frodo and the Fellowship would one day pass.
