Warning! Spoilers for Rings of Power Season 2, Episode 6.Sauron gives Celebrimbor a new stash of mithril in The Lord of the Rings: The rings of power Season 2, Episode 6 – But They Didn’t Run Out? The events surrounding the Lord of Eregion begin to get quite confusing, between his own mental decline and the illusions created by Sauron. While audiences know much of what is real and what isn’t, some small details don’t begin to line up. Some of these, such as Sauron (like Annatar) suddenly producing more Mithril out of nowhere, could indicate what is really going on in Rings of power.
Until now Rings of power Season 2 saw Celebrimbor and Annatar complete the Seven Dwarf Rings, and the Dark Lord-in-disguise is pushing to complete the nine for humans. However, the effort and resources that went into the existing rings of power were extreme, and Sauron grew increasingly frustrated as obstacles continued to get in his way. in Rings of power season 2 episode 6 The lack of mithril was the primary issueSo Annatar went to Khazad-dûm to get more. The problem is that King Durin III was far too greedy to share.
Sauron gives Seabrimbor more mithril, but the dwarves refuse to give him any
King Durin III would not deal with Annatar in Episode 6
When an almost distraught Antar went to Khazad-dum to ask for Mithil, he was refused. King Durin wanted to hold out until the elves of Eregion were truly desperate since he could then trade the mithril for something much more valuable than the wood Antaar offered. This meant that the Rabbi of the world had to return to Celebrimbor with empty hands. despite this, Annatar pulled out a vessel full of earth mithril (refined to a powder by Norvi) and handed it to Celebrimbor. After convincing him that the only way forward was with their nine rings of power.
This was a rather sudden solution to this Rings of power Episode’s big problem, implies that it never was a big problem to begin with. There is nothing to indicate that there is anything wrong, and Cellrimbar certainly has no reason to think that Annotar did not receive the mithril from the dwarves. However, consider the large “No“What King Durin gave and the fact that Narvi was never shown to give Sauron the mithril, it’s quite a confusing set of gears.
Sauron’s New Mithril is likely another of Seabrimbor’s hallucinations
The illusion of Sauron’s region hints that there is more trickery at work here
In the scene in which Sauron gave Celebrimbor the Mythil in Rings of power Season 2, Episode 6, There Were Far Stranger Things Than Just That Could Provide a Clue. Eregion had just fallen under siege by Adar and his orcs, who left the city in a panic. However, when Celebrimbor went to investigate, Sauron worked a little magic to make the city outside his forge appear peaceful and absolutely safe. As the two stood talking in the glorious sunshine surrounded by laughing children, Sauron handed over the Mithril and told Celebrimbar what it was.
It is likely that just like the environment, the mithril was just an illusion.
It is likely that just like the environment, the mithril was just an illusion. Sauron needed Selelbrimbor to get back into the forge and get to work, and assuring the Elves that he had secured mithril was an effective way to do that. The Lord of Eregion is still in the planning stage and is not quite to the point of actually starting to make the nine rings. So, Sauron may plan to replace the mithril illusion with the real thing once he finally gets it. or, Perhaps he decided on another substance to make the nine with But Celebrimbor doesn’t want to know that he has a switch.
Sauron may have stolen the new mithril from the dwarves
One way or another, Sauron’s mithril surprise is a bad omen
It is also possible that what Sauron gave Celebrimbor really was mithril. After all, King Durin III is wearing one of Sauron’s seven, so it might have been relatively easy to pull one over the dwarf and grab a stash of mithril before leaving Khazad-dûm. The Dark Lord would certainly not be above doing so, knowing that Celebrimbor would never be the wiser. Of course, if this is the case, King Durin III will surely know about it. He was holding out on trading mithril, hoping for a better deal, and Stealing from someone he perceived as an elf of Eregion would be sure to lead to catastrophe..
Whether Sauron’s mithril stash is real or not, His gift to Celebrimbor hints at the trouble to come. If it was an illusion, Sauron likely sneaked something else into the recipe for the Nine. If Annatar stole the mithril, it could set in motion the centuries of hatred that will exist between the dwarves and elves that go into The Lord of the Rings— an end to the friendship that the doors of Durin represent. Regardless, none of this bodes well for Eregion or Khazad-dûm going forward Rings of power.
