Tolkien never says this is a kingdom or a separate realm from Gil-galad’s, but I believe it would be acceptable to stipulate it is a separate kingdom if Amazon’s contract does not include the rights to use Unfinished Tales‘ material (rumor has it they do have the rights to all the Tolkien books – but we’ll have to leave that for another discussion). Tolkien retrofitted Galadriel into a number of First and Second Age stories. On the other hand, if you don’t like this you can also ignore it without any major problems. The Dark Lord had originally intended these rings to subject the Elves to his will and to use their power to gain dominion over the earth. In a later text, Celebrimbor sends Nenya to Galadriel in Lorinand rather than giving it directly to her. Galadriel and Círdan. Click here to follow The Middle-earth Blog on Twitter: @tolkien_qna. Tolkien and Middle-earth Questions and Answers, ← Christopher Tolkien Resigned from the Tolkien Estate, the J.R.R. She was the on… In one of these stories the stone was made by Celebrimbor at Galadriel’s request. Up to this point I will loosely designate everything cited as describing Galadriel, Version I. Hence, the Amazon show would probably have free rein to decide whatever they want. Cliff is a great guy and I love his enthusiasm for the fans and these productions. Free registration is required to post. Maybe he and Galadriel knew each other in Valinor, or maybe he wasn’t even born until Galadriel and Celeborn were married. So it came to pass that when the light of Valinor failed, for ever as the Noldor thought, she joined the rebellion against the Valar who commanded them to stay; and once she had set foot upon that road of exile she would not relent, but rejected the last message of the Valar, and came under the Doom of Mandos. Celeborn, we are told in the LoTR appendices, dwelt for a time in Harlindon where, presumably, he was lord of the remaining Sindar. Once you sign up you should receive a confirmation email you must reply to. or Christopher Tolkien about the characters of Galadriel and Celeborn. Celebrimbor, like Galadriel and Celeborn, emerged from Tolkien’s plotting for The Lord of the Rings. But she need not be. Click here to follow The Middle-earth Blog on Twitter: @tolkien_qna. The copy I have includes a copyright notice for the text with a year date of 1962. So there’s nothing in the canon to keep you from believing that this particular aspect of Celebrimbor’s character was true (I personally consider it true that he loved Galadriel.) Perhaps Celebrimbor kept one, which then made its way to Gil-galad afterwards? She passed over the Mountains of Eredluin with her husband Celeborn (one of the Sindar) and went to Eregion…”. What Happened to Gimli after he Sailed Over Sea? So at the end we see her taking ship. Have a question you would like to see featured here? Her prayer was granted – but also her personal ban was lifted, in reward for her services against Sauron, and above all for her rejection of the temptation to take the Ring when offered to her. When Celebrimbor rose to power Galadriel took Amroth and Celebrian through the mountains to Lorinand, but Celeborn remained in Eregion. Before he started writing The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. She was proud, strong, and selfwilled, as were all the descendants of Finwë save Finarfin; and like her brother Finrod, of all her kin the nearest to her heart, she had dreams of far lands and dominions that might be her own to order as she would without tutelage. I find it hard to believe that the rings were not bestowed within the first ten years of their existence, considering the intent of their making. What occasion would warrant anything less than a direct presentation from the hand of Celebrimbor? At around S.A. 1200 Sauron, calling himself Annatar (the "Lord of Gifts") and claiming to be an emissary of the Valar, arrived in Ost-in-Edhil, and offered his knowledge to the Gwaith-i-Mírdain. Even after the merciless assault upon the Teleri and the rape of their ships, though she fought fiercely against Fëanor in defence of her mother’s kin, she did not turn back. Even among the Eldar she was accounted beautiful, and her hair was held a marvel unmatched. Copyright © 2011-2020 Middle-earth & J.R.R. There is no hint in The Lord of the Rings that she was one of the rebellious Noldor who fled Aman. Galadriel was never married to anyone other than Celeborn. The only hint of a romantic connection between Galadriel and Celebrimbor occurs in abandoned text in Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, in the chapter “Galadriel and Celeborn”, where Celebrimbor confesses his love for Galadriel, but conceding that she “turned to Celeborn of the Trees”. The reasons and motives given for Galadriel’s remaining in Middle-earth are various. He is remembered primarily for his creation of the three greatest Elven Rings of Power: Vilya, Narya, and Nenya. Which Galadriel do you really ask about? In a note attached to “Aldarion and Erendis”, Tolkien says that Aldarion met Galadriel at Tharbad. So Galadriel’s history as published in The Lord of the Rings differs from the history attributed to her character in The Silmarillion. When worn, each Ring of Power gives its bearer "the prevention and slowing of decay of time", by granting its wearer an unnaturally long life and rendering things invisible or visible, though it can confer power only according to the measure of each possessor. Galadriel, Version III receives Nenya directly from Celebrimbor in Lorinand (Lothlorien) in the earliest conception of their relationship. It’s not my place to speak for Cliff but he was doing a live show and you can’t take back anything in such a format.

In the Unfinished Tales, Christopher Tolkien shows us the three different stories his father wrote to explain the origin of the Elessar that Galadriel gives to Aragorn. Galadriel, Version III emerges from the same period of writing that introduced Galadriel, Version II, so I don’t want to give the impression that these three versions are chronological progressions in development of the character.
