Hard to Fathom..

[Amarie of the Vanyar]

Talking about the Seven Rings, I have one question, do you think that they were more powerful than the Nine?

Celebrimbor, desperate, himself withstood Sauron on the steps of the great door of the Mírdain; but he was grappled and taken captive, and the House was ransacked. There Sauron took the Nine Rings and other lesser works of the Mírdain; but the Seven and the Three he could not find.

The fact that Sauron could find the Nine but not the Seven, was only a coincidence or was due to the fact that the Elves of Eregion took greater care of them? What do you think? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
