The three rings of power that the elve had - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Maybe that's why the Orcs waylaid Celebrian?

But the list is not long, so when Galadriel says that Sauron does not know she must also be telling us that Sauron, for whatever reason, would only go after one of the three Elven ring bearers if he did know for sure. That to me suggests that he also knows or at least suspects that these rings confer tremendous powers. Or else that he simply has not had the power to confront his 'suspects' up to this stage. I think it's during the war of the Ring that the Orc attacks on Lothlorien dramatically increase, so perhaps he has only been building up his strength until he feels he can attack who he suspects of having an Elven ring?

Or maybe he could not care less and he is just waiting to get the One back so he can attempt to dominate them again? If he had got it back, then all those rings would have had to be taken off - and presumably the power protecting Lothlorien and Rivendell would wane.
