Very interesting! It’s so fascinating how large his role is while he just lurks mostly off to the sidelines.

Celebrimbor's history does have vague dates, and it is difficult to pinpoint his movements. Your study is giving me some needed coherency on him! 

....Itarillë might be the only other named child in The Silmarillion who was born in Aman and brought over to Beleriand with the exiles. As Turukáno canonically (I think) didn't like or trust the Fëanorians, especially after losing his wife on the Helcaraxë, Idril may not have interacted with Celebrimbor at all after Finwë's death. But I do agree that it feels like Celebrimbor never had a home, other than the forge. 

....are exactly right. Those are all Celebrimbor. And I really like your short scene of him with Annatar, "herding cats". A very enjoyable mix of facts and fiction. 

Really enjoying reading the updates and oh my gosh the character building in the story is fantastic! Please keep writing!

What an impressive work! Some very interesting observations, and a nice headcanon about him being red-headed. I especially liked the little scene with the poor dead pony.

A telling scene, with that poor pony!

It illustrated your theory about weaknesses very well and also the dynamic between the two characters.

Wow those character tags are so complicated, I can’t believe there are so many to describe the Silvergifting ship alone. 

I think it’s interesting how they spell versions of his Quenya name too.

I wonder if it might be argued that “Celebrimbor/Sauron” is a useful distinction between “Celebrimbor/Annatar.” Though from looking at various fics it doesn’t seem that it’s used to make a precise distinction in the way it probably could. 

Fascinating research!

"...that's what draws Annatar to him alongside his skill in the forge--the opening, the opportunity for his doubt to be played with and shaped in the way Annatar wishes."

Fascinating characterization. I so enjoyed reading your 30 day study and following along for the deep dive into aspects of Celebrimbor I had never considered before!
