== Description==
'''Antheron''' ('''Annatar''' in the original Tolkien legendarium) once taught the Elves how to craft the [[Rings of Power]], which is apt as his name is [[Sindarin]] for "Master of Gifts". He appears in an instance where he has promised to teach [[Narmeleth]] about his knowledge of ancient ring-lore, if she comes with him.

== Quest Involvement ==
* [13] [[Quest:Instance: The Giver of Gifts|Before the Shadow, Book 1, Chapter 7: Instance: The Giver of Gifts]]
* [50] [[Quest:Instance: Daughter of Strife|Volume I, Book 15, Instance: Daughter of Strife]] - ''Session Play''

== Other appearances ==
* In [[Quest:Chapter 15: The Doom of the North|Book 14 chapter 15]], a mural that represents Antheron can be found within the ring forge of Eregion.
* In [[Quest:Instance: One Hope Remains|Book 15 chapter 12]], [[Mordirith]] summons [[Antheron Illusion]]s.
* You're able to briefly spot a shade of Antheron in the room of dread, located within [[Minas Elendúr]].

{{Spoiler Alert|Antheron's agenda is to beguile Narmeleth. He is, in fact, the [[Sauron|Dark Lord Sauron]] in disguise.

In the original ''Lord of the Rings'' legendarium, this character is known as '''Annatar''', "Lord of Gifts." According to the [https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Annatar Tolkien Gateway], '''Antheron''', "Gift-lord" was used in Lotro to avoid copyright infringement (Turbine does not hold rights to content from ''The Silmarillion''). }}
