This denial might have been the catalyst for Fëanor to craft the Silmarils, three stones that captured the light of the Two Trees. Fëanor asked Galadriel three times for a strand of her hair, so entranced with it he was, but she denied him each time. In the ages before the Elves traveled to Middle-earth, another had asked Galadriel for a strand of her hair, Fëanor, often considered to be the greatest Elf to ever live and also the source of much misery for the Elves. This request and her response have an immense amount of significance behind them. “Nothing, unless it might be-unless it is permitted to ask, nay, to name a single strand of your hair, which surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine. “There is nothing, Lady Galadriel,” said Gimli, bowing low and stammering. ![]() He stumbles through his words before asking: In the books, Gimli is hesitant to make the request, only doing so when Galadriel insists.

If you’ve seen the The Lord of the Rings films you’re probably familiar with the gift that Gimli asks of Galadriel when the Fellowship departs from Lothlórien: one strand of hair, of which she gives three.

By making her choice, Elrond moves to reforge the Shards of Narsil, the sword that cut The One Ring from Sauron’s hand into Andúril, while also inspiring Aragorn to take the Paths of the Dead to convince the King of the Oathbreakers to join his cause.Īrwen represents this choice with her ability to remove her own indestructible counter in support of another creature, normally Aragorn but really any creature you want during a game of Magic. ![]() You can have Arwen give up her immortality to empower another creature, which represents the support she gives Aragorn. By choosing a mortal life, Arwen lives her life with Aragorn and her card represents that choice.
