Re: Celebrimbor
Telchar posted:The really really easy way out is just accepting the
Enerdhil-story, then you also would be able to use the
sentance: "In ages after there was again an Elessar, and
of this two things are said,though which is true only
those Wise could say who are now gone.
The Enerdhil-story in no way conflicts with the rest of the
published material - as I see it.
It doesn't conflict with what we are told about Celebrimbors
parentage and it doesn't raise question about how Idril got
in possesion of the stone.
Lindil: I think that due to the vast number of contradictions , discrepancies and unresolved conumdrums leaving this reference to divergent traditions in is quite appropriate. come to think of it i know of about 100 other places I could put it in the silmarillion <img src=smile.gif ALT="

I def. spoke hastily re: the previous 'solution'.
Lindil is oft found on posting on
the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowdowns and working on yet a 2nd new Elven/Christian discussion board<a href="http://pub72.ezboard.com/bosanwe" >Osanwe</a>
'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>
