While the specifics of this capture remain unknown, the impact it could have on Galadriel’s development has piqued fans’ interest. There is some doubt about the rumor’s veracity and consistency with J.R.R.

Tolkien’s original works because of the supposed capture of Galadriel. The capture of Galadriel is not mentioned in Appendix B, which details major events of the Second and Third Ages. Instead, it thoroughly explains how the Rings of Power were forged and how the Elves fought back against Sauron.

Appendix B states that it took Sauron ten years from the time he forged the Three Rings in the fires of Mount Doom to create the One Ring. The Elves, who hold the Three Rings, realize Sauron’s evil intentions as he nears the end of his dark design and decide to abandon them. After hiding the Three Rings for three years, the Elves provoked a war with Sauron.

Galadriel and Celeborn established Eregion to unite those who opposed Morgoth’s lingering evil, as told in the Unfinished Tales. Galadriel saw the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm as powerful and useful allies in the fight against the Orcs. As a result of her training with Aul and Yavanna, she developed a profound appreciation for the Dwarves’ skill and artistry.

However, the Elven Smiths of Eregion, the Gwaith-i-Mrdain, rebelled due to Sauron’s deft manipulation. Sometime between 1300 and 1400 of the Second Age, they rebelled against the rule of Galadriel and Celeborn.
