When Sauron invaded Eriador, destroyed Eregion, and sieged Rivendell what was Galadriel doing? I know Tolkien states that the doors of Khazad-dum where shut when Eregion was destroyed. Lothlorien is very close to Khazud-dum and it seems very unlikely that Sauron would leave such a powerful enemy at his rear. It is equally unlikely that Galadriel would just sit by and let Sauron overrun ME. Did Tolkien ever mention what Galadriel and Celeborn were doing during the war with Sauron? On a side note are we ever told when in the Second Age Galadriel gets Narya?
