In the Unfinished Tales I'm pretty sure it gives two (maybe 3) accounts of the wanderings of Galadriel and Celeborn, and in one I think it said that all the elves were pardoned after the war of Wrath but Galadriel chose to stay with Celeborn in ME. I think Christopher Tolkien made a comment that in his father's notes J.R.R. Tolkien indicated that he did not wish for there to be a sense of animosity between the Valar and Galadriel. I don’t own a copy of The Unfinished Tales so I can’t produce a quote, and there is a possibility that I am totally wrong. Check in the Unfinished Tales and tell me if I’m off base, its been two years or so since I looked at UF (I should really buy all the Tolkien books, anyone want to give me $50) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
