Army Encounter
?
Free Peoples: Will usually offer to increase the command rank of any attached characters. He increased the Command rank of my 3 Dwarven characters by 8, 6 and 9 points. He also reduces morale of any DS pop centres he comes across. However, I've had the following information..."I was playing Dwarves and was moving HC through Mirkwood and got the Celeborn encounter, and he wounded my commander...I didn't think he attacked good armies but it was the case." (Bobbins)
Neutral: If Celeborn runs into a Neutral force, he'll destroy a large number of troops with spells. He won't, however, harm any characters traveling with the armies, even if the armies are disbanded. (Bobbins)
Dark Servants: If Celeborn runs into a Dark Servant force, he'll destroy a large number of troops with spells. He won't, however, harm any characters traveling with the armies, even if the armies are disbanded. However, Celeborn has been reported as not destroying any troops in a Dragon Lord army encounter. (Bobbins)
Celeborn and Galadriel can't, to my knowledge, be encountered by lone characters. They only interact with characters attached to an army, the effects varying depending on the allegiance:
Both Celeborn and Galadriel tend to range Lorien, Southern Mirkwood, and sometimes the Anduin Vales. Both have on occasion crossed the mountains into Rhudaur and even Angmar. They affect pop center loyalty, increasing it when the pop center belongs to the Free Peoples and decreasing it when the pop center is in the hands of the Dark Servants or Neutrals.
Note that Galadriel carries the artifacts 'Galadriel's Mirror' and Varya, giving her a +90 to her mage rank. Rumors also have Galadriel with artifact 164 (Tintelpe). She's an extremely formidable foe in combat, generally unbeatable by any opponent (challenge rank estimated to be around 122+ (212+)). Galadriel's ranks are as follows: Command 20 29, Agent 20-29, Emissary 70-79, Mage 100+. Celeborn carries no known artifacts, and has a challenge rank somewhere around 79. Celeborn's ranks are as follows: Command 60-69, Agent 10-19, Mage 20-29.
