Excellently written, Ithilion, but I would submit that there was a period of at least four years between the beginning of the War of the Elves and Sauron, and the invasion of Eregion. Surely Gil-galad would have learned of the perpetrator before this? Especially considering that Celembrimbor knew of the betrayal in SA 1600, ninety-three years before the whole affair began. And then there is the fact that Gil-galad hid his two of the Three four years before the fall of Eregion as well, and the whole time Eriador was under attack by Sauron's forces. It just doesn't add up, really. Unless Tolkien stated otherwise in UT?
