Re: Celebrimbor

intriuging work jallanite- given a clear set of options I favor 2.b.ii.
remove the words in Gondolin.
Celebrimbor is stated as having been in Nargothrond and to go moving elf-princes around w/ out a nod from the prof, is unneccesary and somewhat presumptous. although I am willing in general to do a back flip w/ the texts to keep something intriguing or beautiful, it seems some part of the conflicting eleesar stories must go and the words in Gondolin are the easiest way out methinks.

again nice summary, you and Tar elenion are 2 birds of a feather it would seem.
