They contained the last light from the elves’ sacred trees, and so were coveted by all elves as divine objects. Furthermore, Silmarils are some of the most important items in the history of Middle Earth. Unless the tree atop the Misty Mountain sprouted from the fiery pit where Maedhros died, or if Maglor’s Silmaril was miraculously recovered from the bottom of the ocean, there should not be any Silmaril in play at the time of this legend. This history makes The Song of the Roots of Hithaeglir myth implausible since Tolkien has accounted for the fates of all three Silmarils. That’s why I think this whole backstory is a smokescreen for Gil-Galad to enact some much more ambitious, potentially unpopular plan. Not only is this origin story not even hinted at by the writer, it actually threatens to upend a chunk of his lore. Tolkien never wrote anything resembling this history. It’s a grand tale if true, except “The Lord of the Rings” author J.R.R. It rippled through the tree’s roots and deep into the mountain to create the ore now known as mithril. A lightning bolt struck the tree during this moment and combined these elements of good and evil with the light of the Silmaril. As the battle raged on, the elf poured his light into the tree to protect the Silmaril and the balrog poured into the tree his darkness. The elf had discovered that a Silmaril lay hidden in a tree at the top of the mountain, and he sought to reclaim the object while the balrog wished to destroy it. In the first age, an intense battle between an unnamed elf and a balrog took place atop one of the peaks of the Misty Mountains. According to a legend known as “The Song of the Roots of Hithaeglir,” mithril is the resulting product of an epic struggle of good vs. Mithril will supposedly save them because of the myth behind its creation.

According to him, if the elves don’t get their hands on mithril, they will either have to catch an early ship to the Grey Havens or else wither away and die. Gil-Galad is clear that the spirit of the elves is diminishing, as evidenced by the decaying tree of Lindon. That’s the shiny ore the dwarves have just discovered deep within the mountain, which they will eventually use to craft lightweight but ultra-strong armor (like the mithril vest which saves Frodo’s life in “The Fellowship of the Ring”). And in this episode, Elrond learns that he was really sent there for the purpose of obtaining mithril. It was clear that Gil-Galad had ulterior motives when he sent Elrond ( Robert Aramayo) into the mines of Moria. So let’s walk through why this Middle Earth nerd thinks Gil-Galad is a big fat liar! As elven high king Gil-Galad ( Benjamin Walker) waded through this new mythology, I found myself filled with awe and skepticism at the same time. “ The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” unveiled a shocking backstory about the coveted ore mithril which is set to shake up relations between elves and dwarves for generations.
