Is Galadriel more powerful than Gil-galad?
The Fall of Eregion probably resulted in a significant population decline due to death and sailing; nevertheless Gil-galad was able to muster a sizeable army at the end of the age. In terms of personal power, Galadriel had more. She was a person of tremendous strength and will, and she was a survivor.
Was Gil-galad a high elf?
Gil-galad was not born in Valinor. The exact place of his birth is unknown, but since he was still a child during the Dagor Braggolach, we do know that he was born in Beleriand, and not Valinor. So, technically, he is not a High Elf (also known as the Calaquendi, the Elves of Light.)

Who raised Elrond?
Elrond was born at the Havens of Sirion in F.A. 532. His parents were Eärendil and Elwing and he had a twin brother, Elros, who later became the first king of Númenor.
Why did Gil-galad welcome Elrond into his ranks?
Maedhros committed suicide while Maglor disappeared without a trace, leaving Elrond and Elros alone. Therefore at some point Gil-galad welcomed Elrond into his ranks, after the latter chose to be one of Elf-kind.
What is the Ereinion of Gil-galad?
Ereinion means “Son of Kings”, from erain (“kings”) and ion (“son”). Gil-galad’s parentage had many versions in Tolkien’s legendarium : Gil-galad was originally, and briefly, conceived as a descendant of Fëanor. In both The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, he was the son of Fingon.
Is Gil-galad the son of Fingon?
A marginal note by Tolkien from around this time (the late 1950s) suggested that Gil-galad might have been the son of Fingon. This suggestion was taken up by Tolkien’s son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien in the published version of The Silmarillion, which states that Gil-galad is the son of Fingon.
How did Galadriel get the seeds from Gil-galad?
Gil-galad reigned as High King of the Ñoldor throughout the Second Age. During this time Gil-galad was given the seeds of mellyrn, or mallorn, trees by Tar-Aldarion, who was, during this time, High King of Numenor. But the seeds wouldn’t grow in his land so he gave them to Galadriel before she left Lindon.
