@celedrielfiles i.e. yes they will probably flash back to a first meeting in Doriath, but in my mind it will just be happening in Valinor, and if they say 'Doriath', mysteriously my hearing will fail for that second ;) - anyway I'm really into Alatáriel and Teleporno as you can tell :)
@celedrielfiles I can see the logic there; I am hoping that folks who do get deeper into it will read into the true origin of Celeborn :) (also I'm hoping the show keeps it relatively ambiguous)
@celedrielfiles On page 252 Christopher says: (about making changes to the Silmarillion to expand Galadriel's role/reflect Celeborn's heritage); “That it would have entailed a good deal of alteration in the narrative of the Silmarillion is evident; *but that my father doubtless intended to do.*”
@celedrielfiles In addition to all the above, there is also another long note on the matter in UT Illustrated on page 251, paraphrased by Christopher, where he talks about Alatáriel and Teleporno reaching Beleriand before the Feanorians, and being 'welcomed with joy' by Cirdan.
@celedrielfiles This is stupendous!! Amazingly beautiful. You have captured her better than anyone EVER has, and I mean it! I've always said she has differently coloured eyes when she wants to. Some shamans call it 'sorcerer's eye' and Galadriel is way into magic at that point in Valinor.
"He has dwelt in the West since the days of dawn, and I have dwelt with him years uncounted; for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat."

I was honoured to work with Martti Pärssinen, Alceu Ranzi and Fabio de Novaes to feature their spectacular LIDAR discoveries in the Amazon in Season 2 of my controversial Netflix docuseries Ancient Apocalypse (released October 2024). I have remained in close and friendly contact with the team and their ongoing work ever since and congratulate them on their newly published open-access paper in Nature which is linked at the end of the report in Science Alert below:
