In briefanswer capsule

The smiths of Eregion formed a society of their own under Celebrimbor, and their craft was reckoned second only to Fëanor's. It was this brotherhood, not a king or a council, that Sauron set out to win: he came among them in fair form and taught them, and the Rings of Power were made by their hands. When Celebrimbor at last understood him, the guild was already divided, and the war that followed ended both it and its city.
