The Rings of Power Episode 4 Recap
During Galadriel’s plea to Numenor’s Queen Regent Miriel in asking for aid to rid Sauron’s evil forces in the Southlands, the Elf warrior oversteps her mark and is subsequently imprisoned.
Galadriel joined Halbrand in the Numenorian jail and the king of the Southlands asked comically if she was imprisoned for a brawl the same as him.
She then replies that it was sedition that got her locked behind bars and its meaning is Galadriel’s present nature personified.
What Does Sedition Mean?
Sedition means to engage in conduct or speech that encourages the people to rebel against a higher authority or monarch.
In Galadriel’s case, she was imprisoned for rebelling against the final word of the Regent who denied aid for Galadriel’s mission in the Southlands. The Elf then demanded to speak to the King of Numenor instead of obeying the Regent, which had her thrown in prison.
We later find out through Halbrand that the Regent’s fear stems from her father, the King, and it’s only when the White Tree of Nimloth blossoms that Miriel understands the Valar wishes the Numenoreans to help Galadriel.
