With this episode, the War of Sauron Upon The Elves (what we might also call the War of the Three Rings) begins. And given the relative length of the next 3 chapters, as well as their unified theme, I decided to combine them into this one episode.
The chapters we’ll be looking at are:
- 1693 – War of the Elves and Sauron Begins. The Three Rings Are Hidden.
- 1695 – Sauron’s forces invade Eriador. Gil-galad sends Elrond to Eregion.
- 1697 – Eregion Laid Waste. Death of Celebrimbor. The Gates Of Moria Are Shut. Elrond Retreats with Remnant of the Noldor and Founds the Refuge of Imladris.
