From the History of Galadriel and Celeborn it seems that Galadriel would have passed through Khazad-dûm at least once but Celeborn's dislike of dwarves means he may not have done - though he did move to Lothlorien (Lorinand) at some stage. He could have travelled over the mountains or around...
I'm quite a big LOTR fan but one of the things I don't understand is why Galadriel (an Elf) is more powerful than Gandalf (a Maia).
Also I don't understand why Elrond, Galadriel and Glorfindel (the high Elves) didn't join the fellowship when they could have made it way easier.
Building off of my other post about a Silmarillion AU:
I used Galadriel's later story that had her opposed to Fëanor during the Kinslaying and leave in Celeborn's ship after he escaped. Her ship survives the burning at Losgar and so arrives in Beleriand separately.
My questions are thus:
Would...
Then there was a pause, and after it many swift scenes followed that Frodo in some way knew to be parts of a great history in which he had become involved. The mist cleared and he saw a sight which he had never seen before but knew at once: the Sea. Darkness fell. The sea rose and raged in a...
"Then the Lady unbraided one of her long tresses, and cut off three golden hairs, and laid them in Gimli's hand. 'These words shall go with the gift,' she said. 'I do not foretell, for all foretelling is now in vain: on the one hand lies darkness, and on the other only hope. But if hope...
The question is not of her power in the first age vs the created power of a maiar, but of her power vs general maiar in the third age. I have argued that the Maiar are overrated in their power and I also argue the strength of the Noldor [individually not collective] increased from the first...
It is said the Lord of the Rings that Galadriel's voice is "lower than womans wont" and has quite a lot of power with it while she still remains feminine, so which female singer (or female voice type) do you think is closest to her voice?
I have thought a few times that it's Miriam Stockley...
Hello everyone, first of all, i would like to say i haven't read the books, so don't throw that at me, i want to read them but i couldn't hold my question until i read them, so here it goes.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO GALADRIEL IN DOL GULDUR WHEN SAVING GANDALF !!!
like,after she fainted and...
Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.
What does that mean? Legolas interpreted it as a portent, and so did I. Was it actually explained later?
Pardon my...
It' been a while since I've posted anything of substance but I was leafing through my copy of 'Unfinished Tales' this morning and decided to read the account of 'History of Galadriel and Celeborn'.
I came across something that I must have missed the first time I read it.

From The Lord of the Rings, Farewell to Lórien:
Yes, Boromir had accepted the correction of Elrond. But somewhere along the way that correction had faded from his mind, and from what had happened to the Fellowship, only one specific occation may have done this to Boromir: the moment when...
LotR Discussion: The Mirror of Galadriel (part one)
Here is part two of the discussion.
1.Do you think that Sam must look in the Mirror? Why didn't Frodo wanted to look in the mirror (he wanted later). Would you look in such thing that shows things that were, and things that are, things...
This is the beginning of that great chapter - a description of the Golden forest. This chapter is very interesting and though it is not long I decided to make 2 thread for it.
The Company arrived in Caras Galadhon 'where dwell the Lord Celeborn and Galadriel the Lady of Lorien. Aragorn told...
Hello all,
I'm looking to make a birthday gift for my friend, and need your help. I want to recreate all the gifts that Galadriel gave to the Fellowship, and not having read that far in the books (shocking, I know) I haven't a clue what they all are. Google has yeilded no results, so I'm turning...
Lord of the Rings, Farewell to Lórien:
HoME XII, Morgoth's Ring, The Shibboleth of Fëanor:
Is it only me who think that it is rather amazing to imagine how Galadriel willingly gave three hairs to Gimli the Dwarve, who only asked for one hair, while she gave none to Fëanor who asked for three...
I'm finally reading, or starting to read, Unfinished Tales. I finally know who Amroth was because I remember reading about him in Legolas' song in Lothlorien. When I was reading the part about Galadriel and Celeborn, I found out a lot more about her, because in the Lord of the Rings, she only...
