In Tolkien, the elves of Mirkwood were the "wood elves." The elves of Lothlorien (formerly "Laurelindorenan") was the center of ("high") elvendom on middle earth. Galadriel was a cousin of Feanor, for crying out loud! She was one of the Noldorin elves. She had seen not only the starlight before the moment when Sun came into being, but also the light of the Two Trees before the Sun came into being, as well as the time when the Two Trees were slaughtered, leaving a single fruit of each of the Two Trees to be thrown up into heaven to become the Sun and the Moon. Galadriel had agreed to go with Feanor on his assault against Melkor (forever after to be known as "Morgoth"), and followed her cousin Feanor away from the Undying Lands in a northerly direction. When Feanor stole ships to chase Morgoth, Galadriel was not among the number of such traitors and thieves. Galadriel marched across the frozen North of the world with the other Noldorin elves to reach Middle-Earth without the use of ships. Galadriel was an unspecified number of years old: she was born before there were any (quote) "years" (close quote) in any spoken vocabulary. We may as well assume that Galadriel was of an age of anywhere from 2 billion years to 6 billion years -- by that time, who's counting?Her land of Lothlorien was immensely beyond ancient. Galadriel is most definitely a High Elf -- or there isn't one.</blockquote>
