- 🔴 Lothlórien is a fictional forest realm in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, prominently featured in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Here is a short history of Lothlórien:
Origins and Founding:
Lothlórien, also known as Lórien or the Golden Wood, was founded by the Elf-queen Galadriel and her husband Celeborn. They settled there in the Second Age, around the year 1350, after the fall of Eregion. Galadriel and Celeborn were instrumental in the formation of the White Council, a group of wise beings in Middle-earth that sought to oppose the dark forces of Sauron.
Lord of the Rings Era:
Lothlórien plays a crucial role in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The Fellowship of the Ring, while on its way to Mordor, passes through Lothlórien. The elves of Lothlórien, who are known as Galadhrim, are skilled warriors and archers. Haldir, one of the elves of Lothlórien, guides the Fellowship through the forest.
Galadriel's Mirror and the Phial of Galadriel:
Galadriel possesses magical artifacts that aid the Fellowship. The Mirror of Galadriel allows individuals to see visions of the past, present, and sometimes the future. Additionally, she gives Frodo Baggins the Phial of Galadriel, a crystal phial filled with the light of Eärendil's star. This phial proves to be a potent weapon against the darkness of Mordor.
End of the Third Age:
After the War of the Ring and the defeat of Sauron, the power of Lothlórien wanes. Galadriel and Celeborn, having achieved their goals in Middle-earth, depart for the Undying Lands. Their granddaughter, Arwen, also leaves Rivendell to join them. With the departure of the elves, Lothlórien loses much of its magical and otherworldly essence.
Post-Third Age:
By the time of the events recounted in "The Lord of the Rings," Lothlórien is one of the last remaining strongholds of the elves in Middle-earth. However, as the elves depart for the Undying Lands, places like Lothlórien lose their elven inhabitants and become part of the changing world of Men.
Lothlórien stands as a symbol of elven beauty, grace, and resistance against the encroaching darkness in Tolkien's legendarium.

(Pt2 about Galadriel) : ever wondered how old Galadriel is during the War of the Ring? I have looked in many different sources and depending on where you look, she’s anywhere from 17,000-20,000 years old. 6,000 seems too young as it would make her close in age to Elrond, who I know is much younger than her even though he’s 6000-8000 by the third age, which wouldn’t make sense for her at all even if she was (“690 years older” as some kept repeating on the internet making 6960!)As she was around long before Elrond was even born and time was experience differently to say the LEAST as there is a lot to go into on that subject lol.) She was born during the Years of the Trees & back then the years were something like 9X longer than a solar year so I understand the math is hard, especially since she isn’t given an exact birth year. But it is said that Finarfin, her father, was born in Y.T. 1230, so I would assume she was born sometime within 1000 years of then (being generous).
Basically, I’m wondering what the most accurate range is for her age during the events of Lord of the Rings. I’ll also add that Galadriel is was around before the ents even existed (of which Treebeard is 15,000 years old so she’s OLDER than Treebeard/Fangorn) or very close to when they were “created” by Yavannah and probably had much knowledge to do with such things and or direct knowledge of what happened. Probably through an early prototype of her mirror or simply another dream that made her long for middle earth all over again ontop of the yearning she already had to go there and explore. Nothing to do with Fëanor’s oath and all that jazz.
Just going from the Appendices (and maybe Silmarillion) she would have to be at least 9000+ years older than Elrond, Elrond was born near the end of the First Age, Galadriel was adult before the destruction of the Trees.
Actually, more than that: I just checked, and the Second Age ended in SA 3441. So an elf born literally at the end of the First Age (FA 590) is 3441+3018 = 6459 years old when Frodo leaves for Rivendell. Elrond was born in FA 532, so adds 58 years to get 6517. Elves are mature at 100, so Galadriel adds at leas 632 to Elrond's age, to be at least 7149, and possibly quite a bit more (as attested by other comments.)
One fic had Maglor(Elrond’s Adoptive Father, Maedhros was also adoptive father alongside Maglor, they were the eldest sons of Fëanor) - One fic had as much older than Galadriel; I wondered how we knew, and it was pointed out to me that Maglor was the second oldest son of the first son of Finwë, while Galadriel is the youngest child of the third son of Finwë. So, yeah.
Note that the second age was the LONGEST and again time was experienced very differently back then too aside from the internal clock of elves working very differently, she’s definitely older as far as the world and the other beings that age far faster around her.
I also remind you all that she’s older than the sun and the moon and witnessed & most likely even helped in the Valar’s crafting what would be the vessels of the last fruit & flower of the two trees of Valinor. She was the most involved with learning everything possible from them and it was stated that she learned all there was to learn from ALL of the Valar that they could teach and she mastered all at a deep level. (Wow hey?)
She’s 25th generation from Tata one of the elven forefathers to wake to the stars. Their birth was rather shrouded in mist. Only those of her grandfathers ilk have a chance of knowing the origins a bit better as they are closer to that culture that stemmed from the beginning.
The Years of the Trees were the second of the three great time periods in Arda that followed the Years of the Lamps and preceded the Years of the Sun&Moon. They were known to be comprised of several Ages and lasted in total around 1500 Valian Years or 14,373 solar years.
Time flowed differently back then and time flowed differently within them too for the elves live as long as the world does. Epic hey?❤❤
The Dúnedain said that Galadriel’s height was two rangar, or "man-high" - some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm). However, Galadriel's most striking feature was her beautiful long silver-golden hair. The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves. Galadriel was said to be the tallest female in Middle Earth, at 6'4”. But then Thingol was the tallest elf ever to live, and he's estimated to be almost 9' (274 cm)
Thingol was also a very very prominent figure within the Silmarillion and other books. He’s the great ancestor of Elrond+Arwen and through Aragorn being directly but distantly related to Elronds Twin Brother Elros it makes him loosely connected to Thingol as well. Let’s just say he died a tragic death long long ago. I’m a continent that doesn’t exist anymore. The events I spoke of in my earlier story of Elrond about his fathers deeds, which lead to the Valar helping with putting a Stop to Morgoth for good so to say and that War Of Wrath lasted 80 years straight and it left the landmass torn asunder from the clash of gods and the holy host of Vanyar elves that were closest to the Valar than all other elves so you can imagine what a bunch of mighty elves men and Maiar fighting a bunch of fowl creatures and beings for 80 years would do to a continent. It all fell into the sea. Galadriel barely made it over the mountain before that part of the story officially broke out.
(Pt1) Let’s talk about Galadriel starting with her gift to Gimli: it has deeper meaning behind it, like most things in this movie & reflects the expanded lore of the middle earth universe. Galadriel is one of the 2-3 most powerful & wise elves remaining in Middle Earth since the time the land was young. She was born in a place called Valinor, or the Undying land... which is basically the place of residence of the Valar, the local pantheon, the local "gods" as you may call them. Back then, the world was not illuminated by the sun&moon, (only the stars, but rather by 2 trees of gold and silver, Telperion and Laurëlin that lit the world before the sun & moon were born from their last flower & fruit as they were basically killed by Melkor when he struck them with his Lance and Ungoliant the primordial Eldrich Terror, Ungoliant she was named by the Eldar). It is said that Galadriel's hair had somehow captured some of the shine of those two trees. Her uncle Fëanor, who was a great king of the Elven people after his father Finwë was slain by Morgoth(Formally known as Melkor).
Fëanor arguably was their greatest craftsman to ever live, asked if she could give him a lock of hair, so that he could use it to fashion 3 gems that would shine of the same light as the trees. Sensing his pride & a shadow that wasn’t exactly belonging to him brewing from within, she refused his request 3 times. He stopped asking and made the gems anyway, managing to complete the task he had set for himself even without her hair. Around these 3 gems, the possession of which became the driving force for many of the great events in the world, entire wars that lasted for centuries exploded, and other events. The gems actively shaped the fate of the races of middle earth to the point that the aforementioned Valar got involved directly. During these times, events surrounding the gems brought about the traditional enmity between Dwarves and Elves... the same enmity that Gimli still feels towards them. That enmity however does not survive his encounter with the wise Galadriel, whom Gimli basically falls platonically in love with. By giving him 3 of her hair, Galadriel is opening a door, offering an olive branch that might one day close the gap that divides these two races. Legolas, himself being an Elven prince and centuries old, knows of the story through his father Thranduil & grandfather Oropher, as it shaped the lives of all Elves, and his subtle smile is possibly the first act of acknowledgment and reconciliation. it is also a way for Peter Jackson, the director of the film, to give a nod to all of the fans who know these facts and backstories... a way to make us feel seen, and to make us appreciate just how deeply the makers of the film respect the books and larger universe created by Tolkien.
The thing with the hair may seem weird, but there is a significance to it in real life as well as in the lore of the story. In real life, it was not uncommon for wives, fiancés, or even girlfriends to give their men (who were going off to war), a lock of their hair as a keepsake, particularly in WWI, which Tolkien fought in. The lore part of it comes into play in The Silmarillion, Tolkien's tales of the creation of Arda, the Undying Lands of Valinor, and Middle Earth. Galadriel is many, many thousands of years old, & was born in Valinor before the sun & moon were even created. At the time, the world was lit by two trees, one gold and one silver which would shine at different times from each other, but would shine together once a day when one would fade and the other brighten. Galadriel's hair was said to look like the light of the mingled light from the two trees, which may have inspired Feanor, a master craftsman and heir to the high king of the Ñoldor, to craft the Silmaril's which were three jewels that captured the light of the two trees, one golden light, one silver light, & one co-mingled light. Fëanor had a bit of a thing for Galadriel and begged her for her hair three different times, which she rejected because she could perceive the inner darkness of his heart and rejected him, which made them "un-friends" after that. There is a lot more to the lore than that, so this is the super crib-notes version. But the point is, it was VERY significant that she granted Gimli three of her hairs to a dwarf, when she would not to the son of her king many 10s of thousands of years ago of which she is related to all three kings who were brothers and Elu Thingol of Doriath was one of the brothers that didn’t stay in Valinor even though he was one of the elven ambassadors along with his three brothers and that king I mentioned was VERY close friends with Thingol)
Galadriel was born in Valinor in the Years of the Trees 1362, before the First Age. She is the daughter of Finarfin, prince of the Noldor, and Eärwen, princess of the Teleri. Galadriel was Finarfin and Eärwen's only daughter and their youngest child. She had three older brothers: Finrod Felagund, Angrod, and Aegnor. I love that you mention Feanor, my favorite character from The Silmarillion. J.R.R. Tolkien served in the British Army during World War I. I think that's where he got the idea for the Silmarulion. The Silmarillion is the bible. Right from the start of reading the book, when I saw that the world was created from music, I fell in love with the book for the rest of my life.
MORE!
There will be more if you say so, Eärendil bearer of the morning star. @EarendilTheBlessed Thank Youuuuu ❤
souless
❤❤❤😂🎉🎉
Celeborn kinda had silver hair
Yes, you are right, he has silver hair. I let my imagination choose the hair color, to be a little different. Thank you for noticing, you know history of Sindarin prince of Doriath.
@@aivideoyoutubeyou both know your stuff.
You got the youthful look right. Some hair color issues, but nothing too bad. Love it though.
Author of The Orphan Seer
Thank you very much, I spontaneously made a video based on my feelings and love for Tolkien's work and I almost cried when I finished it.
@@aivideoyoutube i understand that. I did a full on “Joan Wilder” from Romancing the Stone when I was writing my second book. I know exactly what you mean.

@@michaelrandold4656 That feeling is priceless, like an inspiration that rarely comes.
@@aivideoyoutube finished what? There are 25 books haha
I believe Tolkien would have rejected AI generated art. It would have reminded him to Melkor or Sauron, as the image generators are depending on millions of copyrighted information and material, to Quote Tolkien, evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.
