Gwaith-i-Mírdain
Master Ñoldor crafters who settled Eregion in the Second Age.
The Gwaith-i-Mírdain, the Brotherhood of Jewel-smiths, were a company of master Ñoldor crafters who settled in Eregion during the Second Age. Ñoldor out of Lindon founded the realm in SA 750 under Celebrimbor, whose cunning in wrought work was surpassed only by Fëanor, and they built their chief city at Ost-in-Edhil. Their neighbours were the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, and the two peoples, drawn together by a shared love of craft and of jewels, kept an alliance of friendship and commerce. For centuries the smiths prospered and grew wealthy, working to make their land in exile as fair as the one they had left behind.
