In response, Fëanor cursed Melkor with his new name, Morgoth, and convinced the Noldor to leave Valinor in order to wage a great war against Morgoth. Later, Melkor made his greatest attack against the Elves up to that point when he destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor, killed Fëanor’s father, and stole the Silmarils for himself. Not only did Melkor make his desire to possess the Silmarils known, but his interest in exploring and ruling over Middle-earth also spread throughout the Noldor. It was during this time that Melkor began his feud with Fëanor, who was the son of the High King of the Noldor, the maker of three gems known as the Silmarils, and the half-brother of Galadriel’s father Finarfin. He sought to corrupt the Noldor by using their curiosity and arrogance against them. He later began to target one clan of Elves in particular: the Noldor. After discovering the Elves, Morgoth (then known as Melkor) relentlessly intimidated, captured, and killed many of them. When discussing the history of Middle-earth, it should be stated that Morgoth had it out for the Elves from the moment they entered the world for the first time. Prime Video “Daughter of the House of Finarfin” Morgoth’s shadow looms large over the Two Trees of Valinor in the opening prologue of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Her comment comes after her initial arrival in Númenor, which saw her defiantly announce herself to the kingdom’s citizens and rulers as “Galadriel of the Noldor,” “daughter of the Golden House of Finarfin,” and the “commander of the Northern Armies of High-king Gil-galad.” Combined, these remarks give Galadriel the chance to comment on her family’s history in a way that she really hasn’t been able to since the opening prologue of The Rings of Power’s premiere.īut did Galadriel’s family really start the war with Morgoth that defined the First Age of Middle-earth? The answer is, unsurprisingly, complicated. In response, Galadriel states, “And it was mine who started it.” Near the end of The Rings of Power’s third episode, Halbrand tells Galadriel that his family, who teamed up with the Dark Lord known as Morgoth, lost the Great War in the First Age. Galadriel’s brother, Finrod (Will Fletcher), fights against an army of Orcs in the opening prologue of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
