Stirring Rings  by Larner 1 Review(s)

Celebrian's capture and captivity are so tragic; but I hope you will write of her rescue and the aftermath. Interesting motivation; that Sauron wanted a female elf to turn into an orc and breed from - ick. I always thought that the taking of Celebrian, and doubtless the deaths of many of her party, would not have been random.

Good to see this story updated.

Author Reply: This story is being updated, if slowly. And I, too, have always suspected that there was a specific motive behind the abduction of Celebrian in particular. I suspect that Sauron wanted to turn high-status individuals into orcs both for breeding purposes as well as to cause particular distress to his greatest enemies. Elrond's wife and daughter to Galadriel and Celeborn--I am certain that Celebrian was a particular target for capture, and if he could have taken Arwen as well, I'm certain he'd have done so!

Thank you so!
