Part 5/8:
The history of Galadriel and Celeborn is shrouded in various versions, but Tolkien's published works in The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings provide the most official account. They arrived in Middle-earth as part of a larger migration during the Second Age, where they met in the kingdom of Dorthonion.
Variations Over Time
There are alternative narratives regarding how Galadriel and Celeborn’s paths crossed, including timelines of their journeys and how they settled in Lothlórien. While earlier drafts suggest they might have met in various ways, the officially recognized version emphasizes the significance of their partnership in leading their people through the turbulent times in Middle-earth.
