Galadriel and her redemption - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I dunno, I always thought of the Valar as forgiving and would be willing to allow Galadriel to remain in ME if she wanted to, without the added bonus of resisting the temptation of using the ring. Also if we are to assume that Galadriel was banned from returning to Valinor, we would have to assume that all the rebelling elves still in Middle Earth would be constrained by the same ban. This seems to me to be a little extreme, just a personal view of the Valar, but you are correct Mithadan, it's a matter of cannon. I was looking at the discussion of cannon in New Silm project and it is really fascinating. I'm doing a little rereading myself, before introducing myself to them. They really know their stuff in there.
