Silmaril Galadriel's power

So I was wondering just how powerful Galadriel is against Sauron's forces and Sauron himself without his Ring. We all have some knowledge as to what she can do and of her supposed stature among the...

Silmaril Three Rings

So we all know the chief powers/purpose of the Three was for preservation, creation, and healing. And Elrond had said so himself that they were not made as weapons of war. But, Galadriel seems to...

Silmaril Chronological error (the Elessar)

In the Unfinished Tales (and that's probably why it's 'unfinsihed'), especially with Gandalf coming to ME giving Galadriel the Elassar, why would Galadriel grieve over the decay of ME when she...

Silmaril The Mirror of Galadirel and the Palantiri

These two powerful objects have similar capabilties: seeing from afar, eavesdropping (maybe only the palantiri [?]), and showing visions of the past and future. My question is why Galadriel could not...

Ok, so Lothlorien would be in trouble in trouble if the Balrog or Smaug came there and attacked? What about "the power that dwelt there that was too great for any to overcome unless Sauron came there...

So if Galadriel was more powerful than Glorfindel, that means the curse of Mandos hasn't harshly affected her (except for weariness). And wasn't it said that the Eldar diminished in their spiritual...

White Tree Luthien's resurrection

I've always wondered if Luthien lost her maian powers (though retaining her beauty) after her resurrection. Afterall, she chose to become a mortal, so all the magicks must've been removed by the...

Where is the evidence of Tolkien stating this? It's hard to believe because he'd always seem to downplay Galadriel while he augments much of Elrond's power.



Are you sure? I just find it...

So would Galadriel not need to fear the Balrog of Moria, then (besides the necromancer in dol guldur)?

Well, you know, Gandalf was a Maia. He was killed in battling with just one Balrog. Maia are suppose to be above the Eldar (that is why it's so unbelievable).

Silmaril High Elves and the Balrogs

I know the Balrogs were of the Maiar, but it seems unbelievable that a mere high elf like Ecthelion and Glorfindel could've slain them (more unbelievable is Echthelion who was able to slay 3...

Dark-Eye Morgoth and Doriath

I don't understand why Morgoth didn't just invade the Kingdom of Menegroth. It wasn't like Melian was ultra powerful. Besides, an army of Balrogs and a couple of Orcs and even Glaurung could breached...

Silmaril The fairest?

Who truly was the fairest in the Tolkien universe? Was it Varda, Melian, Luthien, Arwen, Galadriel, or Morwen?

Silmaril Elvish realms of the 1st and 2nd age vs 3rd age

Ring How were the Three and the rest made?

If Sauron put forth his strength into the Ring, then do you think Ceebrimbor and co. did the same with their elvish strengths especially into the Three?
