Tar-Palantir has just left Hobbiton.

If Galadriel sided with the Teleri at the kin-slaying of Alqualonde, how come she ended up in exile with the rest of the Noldor?
In that final version, that was never woven in to the story, Galadriel and Celeborn left anyway in their own ship. In essence leaving 'with' Fëanor but not 'with' him, so to speak. Galadriel's desire to leave Valinor and "exercise her talents" was neither forbidden by Manwë nor was permission granted. Then:
Quote:
Galadriel, despairing now of Valinor and horrified by the violence and cruelty of Fëanor, set sail into the darkness without waiting for Manwë's leave, which would undoubtedly have been withheld in that hour, however legitimate her desire in itself. It was thus that she came under the ban set upon all departure, and Valinor was shut against her return.
I just read that last night and had to share it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
