The Elven Rings of Power EXPLAINED | Lord of the Rings Lore | Middle-Earth

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ธ.ค. 2019
- The Elven Rings of Power are among the most fascinating artifacts of Arda, for these Rings were created by the Elven smith known as Celebrimbor with the help of Sauron's knowledge. Though Sauron never touched these rings, they were still bound to the One Ring and through their powers the Elven leaders such as Elrond, Galadriel and Cirdan maintained their timeless lands in Middle-Earth. What powers did the three Elven Rings have? How did Gandalf acquire one of them? And what happened to them after the Ring's destruction?

Middle-Earth is the gift that truly keeps giving.
Agreed ;)
No that's immortaly
Hey guys, first of all I hope you've had a wonderful christmas! As always subtitles are available and feedback is welcome :)
GeekZone A wonderful overview. One of my favorite areas of lore alongside the lands of Arnor which you covered in another great video. Best wishes to you and everyone in the new year. Looking forward to more Middle-Earth lore in 2020.
Question: which ring would you want to have? Assuming you could use it’s powers to it fullest ability (Excluding The One Ring). I’ve always loved the look of the Dwarven Rings but aside from how it looks I wouldn’t want them to make me greedy, I would pick Narya.
@@17Watman Yeah I agree with you. I'd probably go with Vilya :)
GeekZone What LOTR games have you played and which ones are your favorites? I want to see a video about it.
Great video as always great job!
its amazing how powerful and influential Gandalf has always been and whats even more amazing is how he remained good and never fell to evil.
Amazing video as always
Thanks mate!
Maybe everyone should have noticed when Gandalf was given the Elven Ring and not Saruman that something wasn't right with Saruman... Or maybe that slight against Saruman is what led him to betraying everyone.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
Sauron: Aha! My evil plan is perfect! With the One Ring, I can control all who wear rings of power!
Elves: *removes ring*
Sauron: shit
bad luck sauron 😥
Mission failed. We'll get em next time.
The 3 Elven rings had no Sauron's influence but they can still feel its presence - Like the 1 ring bearer can feel the power of other ring bearer. Its like a detection or a beacon device. If the users wear them. Luckily the Elves didn't wear them otherwise they'll be detected. They're wiser than the drawves & men.
So if the nine ring wearers of men turned into nazgul what crazy evil spirit would the elven ring wearers have turned into if they didn't remove their rings.
@@MikeSmith-od5sl probably nothing since the elven rings wernt touched by Sauron and also even the other rings had different effect on different races, dwarfs got greadier but didnt fade away to spirits. Question would rather be what would have happen to an elf that would have worn one of the other rings?
I really like your narration here. Very calm and even voice.
Thanks Anna! 😄
Subscribe if you haven’t.
Anna Marianne where is his accent from? He does have an amazing voice.
I love to put on Geekzone playlists and let it run til I fall asleep. Soothing voice and the subtitles are great for when my wife is sleeping and I don't want to wake her.
This is one of mine favourite subjects in middle earth, thanks man
Lord Of The Rings has always been my favourite trilogy, only now I'm diving into it's lore, after hours of playing Elder Scrolls.
oh that's awesome, you've got an awesome world ahead of you! :)
I was wondering if you could make a video about the life of Boromir and Faramir
I'll add it to my list of future topics :)
Omfg yes please!!!!!
Yes best late Christmas present ever
Haha enjoy it man ;)
Awesome job. This would have been a good opportunity to talk about what wouod happen if one of the elves had taken the ring of power. Tolkien seems to believe that they would try to make the world back into the way it was, but with more violence and force.
Yeah it'll be a cool topic to discuss, though it would probably be best to cover it in its own video :)
Great analysis. I've always wanted a comprehensive look at the elven rings of power
Cheers Max!
@@GeekZoneMT I hope you review the new Amazon LOTR series. It's about the Second Age, theoretically it will focus on Celebrimbor. The series may not be good, but your reviews would be very interesting
Karl, you outdid yourself with this video! It's so compelling. Wishing you a happy New Year and looking forward to many more videos to treasure.
Thanks Vikki, I was really happy with the end product also! Hopefully I can replicate it for future videos :)
I wonder what a Turkey lambas sandwich would taste like 😯
Seriously, one of those TH-camrs whose videos are never boring:)
Thanks mate, I appreciate it ;)
@@GeekZoneMT Just tell me two things Carl, if you can:
1. What do you think about Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War?
2. Do you think it is stupid that HBO cancelled the Bloodmoon and started making House of the Dragon instead?
I mean, I love Targaryens, but everyone would rather want to know what is up with White Walkers than with Targaryens. There are many books about Targaryen history, surely that show could have waited and they should have gave us Bloodmoon, they owed us that much.
I really liked both games though lore wise they're a bit of a mess :)
@@GeekZoneMT I personally like Talion VERY much, game itself is maybe not Tolkienean, but Talion is VERY Tolkienean:)
What would have happened if Celebrimbor and the Elven smiths had not realized Sauron had made the One Ring? They would keep using all 19 rings and Sauron could read their minds and manipulate their thoughts. What would Elven smiths do and what did Sauron plan to do?
From what I can understand he'd be able to see and govern their thoughts so Sauron would be able to control them to a certain extent
@@GeekZoneMT Exactly, so I'm wondering what did he plan to do with them. As a Maia of Aule, Sauron had an obsession to order and discipline. Did he plan to use the Elves to create some kind of beautiful but twisted utopia, like a massive gated community, where everything was built in repeating geometric forms, and people would look the same and act the same, or what did he have in mind?
Sauron’s Ultimate plan was to bring peace and order to Arda
He felt Eru and the Valar set their creation to fail as free will would cause chaos and conflict without their guidance
Sauron felt they were like neglectful parents and he had to step up and take lead
He plotted to use the Rings of Power to unite the races of Middle Earth by controlling the leaders of the Races via the Rings of Power
His ultimate goal was to dominate life so he can rule Arda as a God King in peace
Had his plan succeeded then the Elves would have became Ringwraiths too under his control making it more possible for Sauron to fulfill his goal
Even though I have read the Silmarilian and Lord if the Rings books a hundred times, I really enjoy these videos. Your summaries of the topics are very thorough and articulated. Thank you for putting in the time to do these lore videos and sharing your love of the books.
Thanks Joseph! Tolkien's works and stories are really fun to research to be honest, since they're spread out over so many books. I always end up learning something new during the process:)
And I always learn something new from your videos! Cheers!
Always enjoy all of your Middle Earth videos :-) I like to think and agree with you about how the rings may have influenced the wearer's abilities, such as Elrond in creating the flood.
Thanks Kainan!
Celebrimbor just said F you to the Dwarven Kings, i see the Dwarves probably didn't liked it
I don't think he had handed them out to the dwarves yet
Another great video! My only minor critique is that it was only the elves of Eregion, and specifically Celebrimbor and the other members of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, who were ensnared by Annatar/Sauron. Gil-galad, Elrond and Galadriel were suspicious of him and refused to have any dealings with him. They warned Celebrimbor not to trust Annatar/Sauron but he was ensnared by his desire to be as great a craftsman as his grandfather Feanor.
One of my favorite ever video's it has to be said! The story of these rings is so beautiful and you've really managed to capture that here :)
Same dylan, the story of Celembrimbor and the rings of power is one of my favourite bits from the Silmarillion :)
your videos are according to me the best ones on Tolkiens world...just wish you touched more back in time to Silmarillion, keep up the great work!
Thank you! That was a very clear and concise discussion of the the Elven rings. I learned much about them that I didn't know. It is very much appreciated and makes the world of Middle Earth even more deep and amazing! Thank you!
Great treat to end the year! Great video! Can’t wait for another video hopefully next week!
Thanks Dylan! I should have a short video up next week regarding the Amazon series :)
There are others making LOTR videos but I like your voice and video style the best. Another great video!
After Sauron failed to control the elves and the dwarves: "The Force is strong with these ones!"
XD
Weren't the dwarves also under heavy "control"? By that, I mean that their rings enhanced their greed for wealth in the deeps, and so they isolated from the world and mined deep into the ground.
@@dukatelo yes they did greedy dwarvs 😬
Still love this channel! I like to wait till you have a done a few then binge it:)
I'm going down to England to celebrate the new year, my challenge is deciding which LOTR I want to watch on the way... Keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas to you my friend and thank you for another wonderful video. Always so thorough, I fully enjoyed this. Looking forward to amazing things for you in the New Year!!
thanks Dalia! Merry Christmas to you and your family 😄
What can I tell you, that I haven't told you already...?
Channel and videos: perfect!
Keep it up! 🙂
Merry christmas and a happy new year from Germany! ✨
What a pleasant surprise. Brilliant treatment of the three rings relevant linkages!
Cheers mate!
The title card makes them look like the Planeteers summoning Captain Planet with their rings 😂
Listening to you discuss the history of my most favorite tales is like being read an audiobook narrated by the venerable Werner Herzog.
Therefore, liked and Subbed!
You’re my favorite LOTR lore tuber!
Can't wait for the new series to come out! Awesome video!
Thanks buddy!
There are three rings involved with marriage: The engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.
Clap clap clap clap clap.
That was a good one 😂😂😂
Boo!
There are nine rings of divorce: catering, favoring, clambering, hammering, laboring, wavering, quavering, stammering, and tapering.
And then there is The One Ring to Cheat Them All
XD
Best video yet!
Awesome video!
Could you do one about the Argonath (and maybe other ruins of Middle Earth)?
Have a great New Year and more traveling through Middle Earth.
Same to you Robert :)
I could listen to your voice all day
This makes me so excited for the new lotr series 🔥
As usual your videos are amazing!
Thanks Jeff! :)
I never understood why the Elves left until this video! Thank You!!
This channel is the best man. 😃
So is this community ;)
I like how Saruron is kinda a elf too but has a very different motive
A late Christmas present from Geekzone! Thank you and merry Christmas and happy New Year Karl. Or is it Carl?
I usually spell it as Karl though both are fine 😅
I didn't know they sailed to the Undying Lands on September of 2021 !
Will you please make a video this September to commemorate this? It would be awesome!
Your videos are always full of fanart I've never seen before. Where do you find it?
Hey Anna I typically use google and Deviantart :)
About the river around rivendell gandalf mentioned he had a part to play in it and that the shape of the horses thay frodo saw where his doing. I think the flood was a combination of gandalf (a maiar with nenya) and elronds own magic with his ring
Thank you for this gem.
You're most welcome!
perfect video!
In 1917 Tolkien located a man in Finland, who he was told, had a song passed or taught to him whom he had no one to pass it on to. Tolkien then recorded this song and started to translate it, which is now the Silmarillion.
I heard this listening to Coast to Coast AM Radio in '98 or '99 during one of Art Bell's interviews with Sir Lawrence Gardener. I did go to his web site at the time and found the story of the Silmarillion. Since the book reads like an historical narrative I believe this to be true. Sir Lawrence Gardener was a fellow Professor with Tolkien, and was an Archiologist/Paleontologist who had discovered crypts and runes in northern Scottland that were ancient Aelvin. Which in my opinion could have very well been "the undieing lands" to the west of Middle Earth.
If anyone knows more of this, please, add in.
Interesting stuff huh!
Cirdan was always my favorite. To see him on screen would be epic and just my life full filled😂 I got to see Thranduil now bring on Cirdan and throw in some Glorfindel and I'm dead🖤🖤
Círdan actually appears on the lord of the rings trilogy xP
in the prologue of the fellowship of the ring and in the end of return of the king when Frodo and Gandalf go to the undying lands hehe.
Also Glorfindel appears in the prologue of ths fellowship of the ring extended version ^^
I'd love to see them on the LoTR amazon series tho !
hmmm there's a good chance that we'll be seeing him in the Amazon Series
You should do a video on Amon Hen also I love your vids! :P
In the Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, during the convening if the White Council, Galadriel just showed up without being noticed and also left without saying goodbye! At some parts, during the arrival of Gandalf at Dol Goldur, Radagast was given an instruction by Gandalf to inform Galadriel. It seems to me that Galadriel has the power at will to disappear and to appear as the need comes, and to the intention of the one who needs her help, as shown in her words she gave to Frodo.
Nice Video.
How do you do your research?
I go through all the books 😅 takes ages
Is there a way to send you a pm? I’m working on a book and I’m really curious what you think of my viewpoint
One of the best videos if I may say sow:)
One of my favorite aspects of Middle Earth is how even though there were a total of twenty rings, and thirteen of them were incredibly powerful and corruptive, but the seven Dwarven rings just kind of... Got lost.
Because the Dwarves didn't give a fuck.
You mean 16?
Were there any unsecret Elven rings that fell under the sway of the One Ring?
Well the other rings would have been the lesser rings of power
Gandalf- ring of fire- loves fire and makes fireworks
Galadriel- ring of water- uses the mirror and yearns for the sea
Elrond- ring of air-...his...uhm...father lives in the air?
Had several arguments about the difference between the Avari and the Elves who went to Valinor.They assume all Elves left Middle Earth,but I don't think that is true from what I remember.
I was curious is there a clip about the Ents
Good job
thanks buddy!
Could you make a Video on sarumans ring.
I reread lotr and came upon the scene in which gandalf tells the council about sarumans betrayel in which it was said that saruman had a ring on his finger and it is (At least in my Copy) implied that he crafted it himself. I would like to hear your thoughts about it.
a very interesting topic but to my knowledge Tolkien never talked about it or had the intention to elaborate on it
Hey dude, I'm reading the Silmarillion for the first time and was wondering about this part where they are talking about the different elves that did not heed the call to go west. There were illusions made to how these elves established themselves as they stayed back for different reasons. It almost seemed to me like the group that did heed the call were referred to as high elves, another group that dark elves, and a third group almost as water elves. There were differences described in their looks (hair and eye color mostly) but I was wondering... Do you think these elves could be physically different to the point of what we know of as "dark-elves" in the modern context. Or what about these grey-mantled water elves... What do you make of this?
three rings from the gumball machine that is...
You're an amazing talent
Thanks Joe!
The Onion Rings of Power were given by the Hobbits.
Many fools underestimated the power of those rings. They didn't last long 😡😡
That's where Sauron effed up. You dont give the food rings to the race that has 2nd breakfasts. The fact that he is ultimately done in by a hobbit was just Tolkein being ironic
Heard some Elder Scrolls music in your video.
you said in another video after the Fall of Sauron they were free to use the power of the three rings but what would have happened to them if Sharon had regained the one ring
Galadriel wasn't just enchanted about the sea, she had wanted to return to the Valar for centuries, she had that falling out with the Valar and had banished herself to the Middle-Earth but time healed the ways between her and the Valar and they invited her back to Valar once the one ring was finally destroyed. Also, Nenya was no longer powerful so it would not have made her long for the sea it would have been diminished so it wouldn't influence her anymore after that.
What age was the actual lord of the rings movies and will there be any after that age?
I have the Nenya (clear gem) and Narya (red gem) rings from the Noble Collection. I didn’t manage to acquire Vilya (blue gem). Does anyone have it? It’s apparently the most difficult ring to get from the Noble Collection.
Galadriel didn't dwell in Lothlórien until TA 1980. I don't know where you found that about Galadriel.
I have a thing for Celebrimbor 💜💜💜 Feel bad for elves of Eregion. 😭
I wonder if Sauron was the source of power for the Rings (Elven), not the One Ring itself. Sauron linked himself to the Rings of Power and they drew on Sauron for strength. Sauron linked to the One Ring, which linked to the other Rings...
Paulafan5
Sauron is no way connected to the 3 elven rings.
It got its virtue perhaps from the Vala but not from Sauron
As the video stated, Sauron is all about dominion of all things, the 3 rings didn't possess said quality
The only reason he can manipulate the major rings(to some extent )is due to his One ring, The Master ring.
But in order to do so, Sauron needed to keep it the Master ring (strongest ring) by using his own power
Is there any app where all people on this comment section meet.. Because life is dull when you can't discuss what you read with someone lol.
Good video by the way!
hmm our discord server might interest you :)
@@GeekZoneMT okay sounds interesting i will surely join today thanks :)
I am from Malta ... do you know if there is a local Tolkien Society or Smial in Malta please?
Those aren't really common anywhere but you could probably find some online
Great
I never remember that the dwarven rings made their bearers invisible, though this might be due to their inherent invulnerability to evil
Does anyone know where he's from?
I maybe wrong as it’s been awhile since I read the books but I always thought Gil galad gave his ring to Elrond?
If the elves learned anything from Celebrimbor, it should've been how to make rings of power...Have Elrond smith a ring of power for Gandalf
If Saruman was aware that Gandalf possessed the Ring of Fire, then why didn't he took it from Gandalf, when he imprisoned him atop Orthanc?
Wondered why Sauron didn't go for Lothlorien when he perused the elven rings, though he having two elven rings would be nice if he succeeds in Lindon but Lothlorien was less fortified unlike Lindon. Maybe this just shows how powerful Galadriel was and how Sauron revered her
Seems like dagor dagorath will happen in the 4th age or later
3:34 firelink shrine??
Tolkien wrote that the rings were actually conscious which is part of their power.
Ive often wondered why those that work so hard to be correct still use those dam ears on the Elves.
I have a question about Saruman's death in the book.
Saruman says that whoever strikes him shall be accursed, and that if his blood strikes the soil of the shire, it shall wither and never be healed.
Then wormtongue stabs him and kills him.
So how come the shire did not wither?
he had lost all power by that time
Damn 2021...so we only have two more years of galadrial...
Gandolf said there are many magic rings in this world But rain again I think that Bilbo had
Did Saruman really know about Gandalfs Ring? If so why didn´t he take it from Gandalf when the latter was his prisoner in Isengard?
EDIT: BTW Carl I love your vids! Your´s is one of my three favorite channels about LotR
I’m working my way through Tolkien books, can anyone tell me which book this story of Sauron creating the rings is in please.
I think it's in the Sirmarills but not sure.
Crystal Phoenix hey thanks for the reply, that was next on my list so that’s great news. I’ve read the hobbit, lotr, Beren and Lúthien, children of Húrin and just finishing the fall of Gondolin. Perhaps I should have gone with chronological order but looks like I followed the same route as most. Ive been ooking forward to the silmarillion, I’ve had a flick through the book and thought it’s maybe going to take a few reads to absorb it all. Thanks again!
Chris Wilson
There's also a 12 volume book about the history of middle earth.
jean safiera yeah that’s the set I’d like to buy next.
I got stabbed with a door today and I can now barely move they shoved just thrown doors at the trolls at the battle for minas trith
Stabbed with a door...oh plz plz explain that abit more...I think we deserve it..
@@darthgorthaur258 ok so for reference this door is mostly metal but with big glass windows and is about a meter tall so I opened it and my foot got caught under a sharp but and I got stabbed well it's technically not a stab wound but it sure as hell looks like I got stabbed
How did Gandalf keep the ring? did he wear it?
If I were Thranduil, I'd be salty as hell that Gandalf got the Ring of Fire, instead of keeping it with the Elven people. It's not like he could have used it to protect the Mirkwood or anything.
Perhaps it protected Thranduil and the remaining elves during the Fourth Age being able to remain in Middle-Earth compared to Lindon, Imladris and Lothlorién (except East-Lorién).
I sort of feel like Saurons obsession with finding the Elven rings pointless. Cant dominate the owners of the rings if they aren't being used. If he found the rings it isn't like he could just pick a different elf to wield it. I suppose there are Elves that might take a ring until they saw what happened to the 9.
Are you sure that Saruman knew that Gandalf had one of the three? And if he knew, why didn’t he took it when he captured Gandalf?
And 9
9 rings were gifted to the race of men, who above all else. Desire power...
