On the contrary AbercrombieOfRohan I can give many examples of said topic that greatly influences the fate of many on middle earth.

I don't disagree, in fact I heartily agree, but what I'm saying is; Is that sort of fate the same fate as the Three Fates of Greek Mythology? They actually spun fate. In Edith Hamilton's
Mythology she claims that the Three Fates were the only thing that Zeus feared, because he didn't have the power to undo it. The sort of fate that Galadriel had was power of choice and reason, she didn't kill Eorl because she knew him to be useful to her cause. I don't think it was an act of divinity, "I can't kill him because it's not his time to die" sort of thing. But may be it was, is that how you see it?
