Celebrimbor
|
Who's there?
|
| 00:09:04 |
00:09:06 |
Celebrimbor
|
Who's there? Reveal yourself.
|
| 00:09:07 |
00:09:08 |
Halbrand
|
Is Galadriel here?
|
| 00:09:15 |
00:09:16 |
Celebrimbor
|
No.
|
| 00:09:18 |
00:09:21 |
Celebrimbor
|
Shouldn't you be resting?
|
| 00:09:21 |
00:09:23 |
Halbrand
|
What is this place?
|
| 00:09:24 |
00:09:28 |
Celebrimbor
|
This was the workshop of Celebrimbor.
|
| 00:09:28 |
00:09:30 |
Celebrimbor
|
The Celebrimbor?
|
| 00:09:31 |
00:09:33 |
Halbrand
|
He's not here, is he?
|
| 00:09:33 |
00:09:37 |
Celebrimbor
|
Well... As a matter of fact, he is.
|
| 00:09:50 |
00:09:52 |
Halbrand
|
Celebrimbor...
|
| 00:09:53 |
00:09:54 |
Halbrand
|
The master I apprenticed to
|
| 00:09:54 |
00:09:57 |
Halbrand
|
used to speak of the wonders of your craft.
|
| 00:09:58 |
00:10:01 |
Halbrand
|
I never dreamed that I'd ever get the chance to see them in person.
|
| 00:10:01 |
00:10:03 |
Celebrimbor
|
Are you a smith?
|
| 00:10:03 |
00:10:07 |
Halbrand
|
Well... Nothing like your artistry.
|
| 00:10:09 |
00:10:13 |
Halbrand
|
These gemstones, I've never seen anything like them.
|
| 00:10:14 |
00:10:17 |
Halbrand
|
What do you plan to use them for?
|
| 00:10:17 |
00:10:23 |
Celebrimbor
|
Fëanor's jewelcraft managed to capture the essence of Valinor.
|
| 00:10:24 |
00:10:26 |
Celebrimbor
|
I had hoped to do the same for Middle-earth.
|
| 00:10:26 |
00:10:28 |
Halbrand
|
This is a peculiar ore.
|
| 00:10:29 |
00:10:30 |
Halbrand
|
What is it?
|
| 00:10:33 |
00:10:34 |
Celebrimbor
|
Not enough.
|
| 00:10:34 |
00:10:36 |
Halbrand
|
Enough for what?
|
| 00:10:40 |
00:10:41 |
Celebrimbor
|
Please.
|
| 00:10:41 |
00:10:45 |
Halbrand
|
Have you tried combining it with other ores? To better stretch it out?
|
| 00:10:45 |
00:10:47 |
Celebrimbor
|
That wouldn't be suitable for this ore.
|
| 00:10:48 |
00:10:50 |
Halbrand
|
Why not?
|
| 00:10:48 |
00:10:50 |
Celebrimbor
|
Because in the amounts we need,
|
| 00:10:50 |
00:10:53 |
Celebrimbor
|
it would too greatly dilute its unique qualities.
|
| 00:10:53 |
00:10:56 |
Halbrand
|
Forgive me, but, uh, at the risk of sounding a fool,
|
| 00:10:56 |
00:10:59 |
Halbrand
|
couldn't the right alloy also amplify those qualities?
|
| 00:11:01 |
00:11:03 |
Celebrimbor
|
Uh... Amplify?
|
| 00:11:03 |
00:11:07 |
Halbrand
|
Where I came up, precious metals were scarce as hens' teeth.
|
| 00:11:07 |
00:11:09 |
Halbrand
|
So we learnt to combine them
|
| 00:11:09 |
00:11:11 |
Halbrand
|
to harness strengths and hide flaws.
|
| 00:11:11 |
00:11:17 |
Halbrand
|
I've seen a trace of nickel added to iron to make a blade lighter and stronger.
|
| 00:11:17 |
00:11:22 |
Halbrand
|
Might there not be some alloy to amplify the qualities of your ore?
|
| 00:11:29 |
00:11:31 |
Celebrimbor
|
Well, that is...
|
| 00:11:33 |
00:11:35 |
Celebrimbor
|
an intriguing suggestion.
|
| 00:11:37 |
00:11:39 |
Halbrand
|
Call it...
|
| 00:11:40 |
00:11:42 |
Halbrand
|
a gift.
