: Galadriel left Beleriand before Morgoth overcame the Eldar and destroyed their kingdoms. She was a mover and shaker in the Second and Third centuries and she was responsible for forming the White Council (in the book, not this board). She travelled around the map and doesn't seem to have done much staying at home. Yes, she sewed, and so did Arwen, but they did this by choice. Galadriel and Arwen, as the chief women of their communities, were also probably the equivalent of high priestesses, overseeing the raising and harvesting of the crops, the preparation of food, and the healing of the injured or careworn among their peoples.

Heck, Galadriel was the one who conquered Dol Guldur and after her army defeated the orcs, she apparently single-handedly destroyed the fortress itself. Not bad!
