From Ost-in-Edhil, the city of the Elves, the highroad ran to the west gate of Khazad-dûm, for a friendship arose between Dwarves and Elves, such as has never elsewhere been, to the enrichment of both those peoples. In Eregion the craftsmen of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, the People of the Jewel-smiths, surpassed in cunning all that have ever wrought, save only Fëanor himself; and indeed greatest in skill among them was Celebrimbor, son of Curufin.
- The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power
Once the chief city of the Elven realm of Eregion, Ost-in-Edhil was home to the great Elven smith Celebrimbor and his brotherhood. It was here where the Rings of Power were forged.
During the War of the Elves and Sauron, the Dark Lord sacked the city, killing Celebrimbor and reclaiming all but the three Elven Rings of Power.
