and to be honest I'm not sure what Tolkien means by an Island assigned to the Eldar,
my first thought was that he is referring to the isle which the Eldar used to come to Aman the first time. First it was part of ME, then Osse I believe used it as sort of a ferry boat for the elves, and therefore assigned to the Eldar.

Elwing and most of the Elves go back to dwell in Tol Eressea. The Gods will not let them dwell in Valinor.



But even here, Christopher Tolkien notes: 'That some did return in the end to Valinor may be concluded from the words of Meril-i-Turinqi (I. 129) that Ingil, who built Kortirion, 'went long ago back to Valinor and is with Manwe.'
I never read it before, but even in this early concept they were allowed to return. I don´t understand why Elwing was treated so bad, she really has done nothing wrong and is grand child of Melian who surely lives in Valinor.

Regarding Galadriel, if someone of the Noldor has earned her ticket to Valinor, then it would be poor old Galadriel IMHO. But I anyway think she could return, she was said to be mighty among the Eldar of Aman and obtained for Gimli the right to go to Aman (I can´t imagine her doing that from Tol Eressea) as well and it is said that she recieved the pardon and indeed honour from the Valar. Galadriel surley would not feel very honoured if she would be forced to dwell on Tol Eressea.
