- Galadriel was banned from Valinor because she along with Feanor and his sons
- was a leader in the Noldor 'rebellion' after Morgoth stole the jewels and
- killed Finwe.

- I don't remember anything about her refusal of the One Ring being rewarded
- by ending the ban. It seemed to me that once Sauron was destroyed all the
- noldor were allowed to return to Aman. Certainly if she had not refused
- the ring Sauron would not have been destroyed or even defeated and Galadriel
- would have played avery different role in the war.
