  • "But the power of the White Ring he would not defy, nor enter yet into Lorien." - This line seems odd, because I always thought the eleven rings were kept secret

  • @NigelFds Why? I thought all rings were common knowledge except that of the One Ring until it was too late.

  • @Mast refer this scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/90090/… , it was not common knowledge

  • @NigelFds It was common knowledge they did exist, not who had them.

  • @NigelFds: That could be the narrator's interjection (when it was Galadriel, not the Ring, he feared) or perhaps we should understand Sauron's "suspicion" and "does not know" very literally: he doesn't know for a fact because he doesn't have the One, but if anyone in Middle Earth is going to have one of the Three, Galadriel definitely is (suggested in the Unfinished Tales quote there.)
