Who is older Galadriel and Gandalf?
Put simply: Gandalf is younger than Galadriel, for he is roughly only two thousand years old (‘only’…) whereas Galadriel is many many millenia older than he.
Why does Gandalf seem inferior to Galadriel?
The reason Gandalf the Grey might have appeared inferior to Galadriel in the eyes of some is that as an Istar his Maiar spirit was encased in actual human flesh which aged and withered over the millennia. This cast a veil on the supremely awesome grandeur his Maiar spirit would otherwise have displayed.
Who is the elf who dies at Helm’s Deep?
Haldir
Although Haldir dies in the battle at Helm’s Deep in the film, there is no mention of his death in any of Tolkien’s published works.
Why is Gandalf also called mithrandir?
Mithrandir is a Sindarin name used by the Elves to refer to Gandalf and since Gandalf can speak Sindarin, he also often uses that name. “Mithrandir” means “Grey Pilgrim” or “Wanderer” in Sindarin, which is a reference to Gandalf’s character. Also, you’re going to find out what his other names used in Middle-earth are.
Why can’t Gandalf use his full power?
Gandalf was a Maia, an Istari sent by the Valar to Middle-Earth to drive the peoples of Middle-Earth against the Dark Lord. His job was only to drive the people, not use his power. He is forbidden by the Valar to reveal his true power and nature as a Maia from Valinor.
Did Galadriel ever meet Sauron?
So it’s unclear whether or not Sauron and Galadriel would have actually met during the attack. Of course, the two never meet during the War of the Ring either, though it does seem like they competed telepathically every once in a while.
How old is Treebeard in Lord of the Rings?
17,051 years old
It’s believed that many of Treebeard’s mannerisms were based on Tolkien’s friend C.S. Lewis, a loud, bombastic man known for his powerful stride and overwhelming presence. The Top Trumps card game lists Treebeard as being 17,051 years old.
