Elrond's Wife???

[Stormrider]

Who is the mother of Elrohir, Elladan, and Arwen? Arwen went to Lothlorien while Aragorn grew up in Rivendell, but Galadriel and Celeborn are mates/married. Aren't they Arwen's grandparents? Who is their daughter? Is she also the twins mother? Whoever she is?

[Stormrider]

I found out! It is in a genealogy chart in The Silmarillion! She is Celebrian! And yes, the twins and Arwen are all her children and she is the daughter of Galadriel & Celeborn.

So what is her story? There is only one mention (that I can find) of her by Galadriel that she had given The Elessar, The Elfstone, to Celebrian who then passed it down to Arwen.

I am limited in my research since I only have The Sil, The Hobbit, And the 3 books of The Lord of the Ring in our camper. The rest of my collection is in storage ... somewhere ... I think my youngest daughter's house!

Did Galadriel and Celeborn have any other children besides Celebrian?

I searched the web and found out a bit more about Celebrian.

Celebrían (IPA: [keleˈbriːan]) was an Elvennoblewoman, the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel, wife of Elrond, and mother of Elrohir, Elladan and Arwen.

Biography

Celebrían's birth date is unspecified, though she might have been born near Lake Evendimbetween SA 350 and SA 400. She lived with her mother Galadriel in Eregion, and later fled to Lórinand sometime between SA 1350 and SA 1400. After a time, Galadriel and Celebrían passed through Moria and dwelt in Rivendell. There, she met Elrond who loved her, though he said nothing about it.

In TA 109, Elrond wedded Celebrían. She bore him twin sons, Elladan and Elrohir in TA 130, and then a daughter, Arwen in TA 241.

In TA 2509, Celebrían was on her way to visit her parents in Lothlórien when she was waylaid by Orcs in the Redhorn Pass of the Misty Mountains. She was then tormented by the orcs and received a poisoned wound. Her sons arrived much later to rescue her, and Elrond to heal her, but Celebrían was never fully-healed in mind and spirit. Horrified and haunted by the fearful memories of her torture, she no longer desired to remain on Middle-earth, and sailed west the next year in the TA 2510.

Other versions of the legendarium

In earlier writings, Amroth the King of Lothlórien was the son of Celeborn and Galadriel, and the brother of Celebrían. It was said that Galadriel fled with Amroth and Celebrían to Lothlórien. When Galadriel and Celebrían left for Rivendell, Amroth was left in the forest, and would later visit his family when they lived in Dol Amroth.

In other versions, Celebrían wedded Elrond in TA 2500, but in TA 2600, she was slain (not captured) by the Orcs in the Misty Mountains. Her children were Elladan and Elrohir, and Finduilas.
