INTRODUCTION
A wide-open region of low, craggy hills, arid riverbeds and
ancient Elven ruins from a time of great prosperity, Eregion sits
between the Trollshaws in the north and Enedwaith in the south, and
marks the sole passage from Eriador into Moria and Rhovanion in the
east. Also
known as Hollin, it was a kingdom of the Noldorin Elves during the
Second Age, ruled by Galadriel and Celeborn until they left for
Lothlorien, and then ruled by Celebrimbor, who, deceived by Sauron
(under the guise of the Lord of the Gifts, Annatar), here forged the
Rings of Power. When Sauron's treachery was revealed, Eregion was laid
waste and the surviving Elves fled to Lindon, Lothlorien and Rivendell.
