Re: Imladris
Again I find myself disagreeing, not as much as before, but still disagreeing. Tar Elenion, I say greatness, because power is a very misleading term. I had just read in UT the part where Tolkien states that Galadriel is the greatest of all the elves, save Faenor. Let's see if I can find a quote, ok here goes. Well, maybe it would just be easier if I point you to the text that I am looking on right now. It is around page 240 or so in UT.
I look at Galadriel as the greatest among elves, since she is good at everything, She was very athletic(probably was a good warrior), one of the wisest of the elves, having learned everything the Valar had to teach she was very intelligent. Faenor was a craftsmen, what else was he good at? Finrod was wise, anything else besides that? Fingolfin was strongest of the elves and maybe he was very wise too, but Galadriel was still greater. Just think about it, if you were second best at everything, then it is almost impossible not to be the best all around, unless there is someone who is first at everything or nearly everything. Please see my point, I understand where you are coming from, I just think you are looking at it in a different way than I am.
