Why was Galadriel banned to begin with? Sotakeit 16:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

She was one of the leaders of the Noldor who wished to return to Middle-earth... and while most versions indicate that she was not involved in the Kinslaying she was held by the Valar to have helped stir up the movement which led to it. Ergo, she was banned from returning even after the general amnesty granted at the end of the First Age. --CBDunkerson 17:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Galadriel's ancestry

Galadriel's Ancestry in her Article doesn't seem to match the Family Tree in the Wiki Article "Half-Elven." The "Half-Elven" Family Tree seems to have placed Galadriel's birth much farther along than I remember' as far as I can remember, she's one of the oldest Elves in the Simarillion/Lord of the Rings/Hobbit Books (second only to Cirdan or Celebrimbor, I think).

Also, it says in the "Galadriel" Article that she is "only" 8,000 years old. I could've sworn that she was old enough to have seen Feanor himself with her own eyes --and I'm pretty sure that the First, Second, and Third Ages covered WAY more time than that.

Could somebody with extensive Tolkien Knowledge correct both of those two Wiki Articles as needed and IF needed???—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cornholioprime (talk • contribs).

Galadriel was really the daughter of Finarfin, son of Finwe. She was in ME from the beginning of the first age, which is 500 (FA) + 3400 (SA) + 3300 (TA) is roughly 7000. So the article makes sense. In the HE article Galadriel's ancestry is not recorded; only her relation to Elrond and Elros. Bryan 18:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
