We look deep into the lore and history of one of Tolkien's most iconic characters from The Lord of the Rings: Galadriel, the Lady of Light. Sister of Finrod Felagund and daughter of Finarfin and Eärwen. She is older than Sun and Moon and one of the greatest Elves in Tolkien's universe. We will also see her in Amazon's The Rings of Power show as one of the protagonists, though I ofc focus on what is in Tolkien's books (LotR Lore) in this video (which is part 1).
At the same time her lore consists of many different versions Tolkien wrote. We will also explore why there are so many versions of her. In this first part we look into her life before she came to Middle-earth and still lived in Aman. I try to give you an overview of her story and explain it. Basically Galadriel's story explained. This is Part 1 covering the peaceful day of the First Age and Galadriel's early life. I also try to explain what's so special about her hair.

- "Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Fëanor maybe" was most likely written 1968 as user Tar-Elenion Maranwe hinted at.
