A title given to Galadriel after she settled in the lands along the river Celebrant and took up the rule of the Silvan Elves who dwelt there. It was Galadriel who brought the golden-leafed mallorn trees to that country, trees that had ultimately come out of the West, but would grow nowhere else in Middle-earth.1 The land became known as Lórien, but also commonly as the Golden Wood. With her spouse Celeborn, Galadriel was acknowledged as the joint leader of the Galadhrim - the Elves of Lórien - and thus the Lady of the Golden Wood.
