Everyone knows the two most powerful of the valar are the brothers,Melkor and Manwe, but who out of those two valarian titans has the greater power. Manwe, one of the Aratar the leader of the Ainur, the king of the Valar, husband of varda and king of Arda. He lives atop the chiefest peak in...

Who is Manwe Closer to, Zeus or Odin?

Hi How Did Manwe Get News Of The Events Of Middle Earth After The Breaking Of The World And The Fall Of Numenor?

Manwe: "even as Eru spoke to us, shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Ea, and evil yet be good to have been" I can only parse this last bit as "and evil yet good to have been" - am I missing a trick? (the "be" bit)

Manwe vs. Melchar Who do you think would win on a one on one fight? No other Valar present, just them.

Is Melkor more powerful then Manwe? I am about half done with the Sil and I was wondering. Eru created Melkor as the Top Ainur, but Melkor turned evil, and Manwe was supposed to be the most powerful, now was Melkor more powerful than Manwe ( I also beleive they were brothers), or was Manwe more...
