In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien , Eregion or '''Hollin''' was a kingdom of the Ñoldorin Elves in Eriador during the Second Age , located near the West Gate of Khazad-dûm under the shadow of the Hithaeglir (Misty Mountains). Its capital was Ost-in-Edhil . Eregion was populated by Ñoldor, and for a while ruled by Galadriel and Celeborn , until they left for Lothlórien on the other side of the Misty Mountains . The Elves of Eregion lived in harmony with a Dwarven civilization, trading freely with the Dwarven kingdom of Khazad-dûm , or ''Hadhodrond'' in the Elven Tongue . After Galadriel and Celeborn had left, Eregion was ruled by Celebrimbor , a descendant of Fëanor . Under his rule the Elves of Eregion became friends with Annatar , Lord of Gifts, and created the Rings Of Power . When Annatar was revealed as the Dark Lord Sauron the Elves of Eregion tried to keep the Rings from falling in Sauron's hands, but only managed to rescue Vilya , Narya , and Nenya (the Three Rings of the Elves). Eregion was utterly destroyed, and its survivors fled to Lindon , Lothlórien, and the refuge of Imladris ( Rivendell ). In the Third Age , Eregion was a pleasant but unpopulated land. Eregion should not be pronounced as in in Elvish). |
