Galadhrim

The Galadhrim were the Elves of mixed Nandorin, Avarin, and Sindarin descent that lived in the forest of Lothlórien,The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, "Lothlórien" ruled by Kings Amdír and Amroth initially and Galadriel and Celeborn later.
==History==
The Galadhrim were mostly Silvan Elves, descendants of the Nandor who, in the Great Journey, had not continued westward beyond the Misty Mountains.Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, Index, entry "Silvan Elves" In the Second Age, they took the Sindarin Elf Amdír as their king, and he ruled until he was slain with many of his people in the Battle of Dagorlad.Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn", pg. 240 (1980 Allen & Unwin publication)
In TA 1980, a Balrog in Khazad-dûm was freed. Upon this event, many Galadhrim fled south to Edhellond on the Bay of Belfalas, to which their king, Amroth, also came, after failing to seek his wandering lover, Nimrodel.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, pg. 1087 (50th Anniversary One-Volume Edition)Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn", pg. 241 (1980 Allen & Unwin publication) Amroth would soon die from drowning in the Bay of Belfalas.Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth, "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn", pg. 245 (1980 Allen & Unwin publication) The Galadhrim that had remained in Lórien lived there quietly, welcoming Celeborn and Galadriel as their new leaders upon their return from Rivendell. Galadriel's power protected the Galadhrim from the menaces of Dol Guldur and the Orcs of the Misty Mountains until the end of the Third Age. With the departure of Galadriel to the Undying Lands, Lórien quickly became deserted. The remaining Galadhrim either went with Celeborn to Rivendell or presumably joined with Thranduil's people in the Greenwood.
Their language was a dialect of Sindarin.
Galadhrim was also the name used specifically for the realm's warriors.
