Celebrian - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Does anyone know of a specific chapter or even a line of text about Celebrian in any of Tolkien's books?

I'd like to make a mod to a game and add her in, so I need ALL the info I can get. Thanks in advance!

I haven't got much time, so I'm unable to go through the Letters or the UT, yet I know some quotes from the LotR and here they are.

Quote:

But her* brothers, Elladan and Elrohir, were out upon errantry: for they rode often far afield with the Rangers of the North, forgetting never their mother's torment in the dens of the orcs.

From: LotR - FotR - Many Meetings
* the her is of course Arwen.

Quote:

'For the gifts you have given me I thank you,' he said, 'O Lady of Lorien of whom were sprung Celebrian and Arwen Evenstar. What praise can I say more?'

This is Aragorn speaking in: LotR - FotR - Farewell to Lorien

Quote:

In 2509 Celebrian wife of Elrond was journeying to Lórien when she was waylaid in the Redhorn Pass, and her escort being scattered by the sudden assault of the Orcs, she was seized and carried of. She was pursued and rescued by Elladan and Elrohir, but not before she had suffered torment and received a poisoned wound. She was brought back to Imladris, and though healed in body by Elrond, lost all delight in Middle-earth, and the next year went to the Havens and passed over the Sea.

From: Appendix A - Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur - The North-kingdom and the Dúnedain

This is all I have found for now, but if I find more I'll be sure to let you know.
greetings,

You may wish to look at the discussion thread for a recent RPG called "To Rescue Celebrian". That game, now completed, resides in Elvenhome. The discussion thread cites all of the references to Celebrian found in LoTR and its appendices.
