Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 12:15, May 30, 2017 (UTC) Surely there can't have been any reason for Gil-galad hiding his Rings other than knowing that the One had been forged. He probably perceived the betrayal of Sauron as soon as the One was forged, considering the connection between the Rings.

And ninety-three years is quite enough time for Celembrimbor to tell someone of Sauron's defeat, surely?
