[Lothlorien] Smiths of Eregion (AoR) image - DCI: Last Alliance mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

The Noldor realm of Eregion was established in the Second Age, west of the friendly domain of Khazad-dûm. Noldor's greatest smiths formed there into a guild, the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, People of the Jewel-smiths.
They were later deceived by Sauron when he, in disguise, offered them tutelage and helped them to craft the Rings of Power. But Sauron revealed his true intent when he created the One Ring. Eregion fell to invasion in 1697 and Celebrimbor, creator of the Three Rings, fought Sauron himself but was defeated. The survivors either fled to Galadriel and Celeborn in Lothlórien or went north with Elrond to found the refuge and stronghold at Imladris.
Of these survivors some were of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain. No guild masters of prime lore and craft survived, but even the least in Gwaith-i-Mírdain is honoured as an authority, and they have not forgot, nor forgiven, what wrongs were done to them and their realm. Clad in armour few in Middle-earth can rival and armed with enchanted warhammers the members of the guild bring fierce and destructive vengeance.
