Tolkienfans cried foul when it was announced thatMorfyddClark’s Galadriel would not be accompanied by her husband Celeborn.

Here’s why that’s a tragedy.

Their love was instant, and the two were quickly wed. Of course, whereRings of Powerreally diverges is by having him pronounced dead.

So where is he?

How did we get here?

Of course, there is some speculation concerning where Celeborn might be.

Galadriel, played by Morfydd Clark, in the Southlands with Theo, played by Tyroe Muhafidin, in ‘The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power.'

Could he be fighting to get back to Galadriel without much success?

Or could Sauron have done something to him that has yet to be revealed?

Right now, we have more questions than answers.

If there is no Celeborn in the early Second Age, thenwhat has become of their daughter, Celebrian?

But why does Celebrian’s existence affect Arwen’s?

Well, because Celebrian is Arwen’s mother!

Epic drama set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

Now, Celebrian’s story is pretty tragic.

But tragedy struck in the Third Age when Orcs attacked Celebrian on her way to visit her parents.

Eventually,she left Middle-earth for the Undying Lands.

Without these characters, the Aragorn and Arwen storyline wouldn’t exist.
