Can someone please explain the ending? SPOILERS, obviously

So why was Celebrimbor bound to Talion by the Black Hand? Why did Celebrimbor choose him? What happened to the One Ring? The last we saw of it was in the final vision where Celebrimbor loses it to Sauron. Before that scene, I thought the Black Hand and Sauron bound Celebrimbor to Talion so that these visions could lead to the location of the One Ring, and thus Sauron could return to power.

Because his body was a vessel to Sauron, he wanted to bind Celebrimbor in his body so Sauron could have form once again. The Black Hand did the ritual (cut throat) on himself to "stole" Celebrimbor from Talion. When he stole and became Sauron, Talion was bleeding again because that was the way he was "killed" in the ritual. Without Celebrimbor, Talion was once again dying, bleeding from the neck. In the beggining of the story Black Hand murdered Talion's family, so Celebrimbor would respond the ritual. But instead to bind his spirit to the Black Hand, the elf choose Talion, because the death circunstences from both are alike. The only thing that makes no sense, is why the Black Hand cut Talion's throat in the beggining of the game if it was by this method that the spirit was bound to a body? The Black hand couldn't have cut his all throat in the first time? Maybe he just realized after. Who knows?
