They collected many leaders of men, or people who could be but after the tedious selection there was only eight left. However, one of them knew of a group who allegedly stood against the darkest of dark creatures during the time of Morgoth.

Even Annatar was doubtful but Celebrimbor was more than happy to delay the finishing of the last set of rings because his doubts about men had not disappeared.

Sauron sensed the darkness in you, and frankly, he was amused by your argument with the elven smith when it became clear that Celebrimbor thought the elves were superior to men. His favourite part might have been when you enlightened Celebrimbor that the rings are not his achievement, he was merely a tool to make them.

The Dark Lord gave you the last and most powerful of the Nine himself, not realising that he put too much of himself in them and your ring linked you two together by your will, locking you into a fight for the power over them.

This fight might decide the fate of all Middle-Earth, either way, by the end a Witch Queen will rise. The question is, will she be serving the Dark Lord or not?
