Default Re: Omission of articles by native speakers

Hi Susan, here is another written example of (an?) article omission apparently for no reason:

The Lady Galadriel is ruler, with her husband Celeborn, of the Elven kingdom of Lothlorien.


Why isn't there A in front of "ruler"?
Thank you very much


ps. it also has THE in front of Lady Galadriel...why??
pps. can "article omission" be used in generic sense here without "an"?
