melkor

Melkor, more than any other Vala, felt that the Song of the Valar should be revealed sooner rather than later. When the pace of the game wasn't moving to his satisfaction, Melkor took the matter into his own hands and moved forward. This thread could go a number of different ways, (eg. was...

Should the Valar have released Melkor? If not, what should they have done?

Is it reasonable to assume that since Melkor raised the Misty Mountains, these perhaps had a more evil 'touch' to them than mountains raised by the good Valar? Yet, later on, Rivendell was founded in the shelter of these very mountains and the Eagles, the servants of Manwë, nested there also...

Whose worse, Melkor or Sauron? To come up with that answer I think you need to compare the two. Let’s start with Melkor first. He brought forth the first destruction of Middle Earth, war with the Valar, the creation of the orcs, and interacted much with balrogs. Now Sauron had brought war in...

from Tolkiens writings: THIS is a disturbing idea- at least to me- if he surrendered and begged for mercy- how could the good Valar treat him this way? I think this is extremely perplexing, from an ethical / merciful standpoint. You have an enemy, beaten, humbled, pleading, and yet you "hew...

Here's a question: Did Feanor (or Fingolfin) have any real chance of defeating - or killing - Melkor? Evidently Feanor didn't have a chance, per se, as he was killed before ever encountering Melkor in Middle Earth. However, Melkor made the assault on his father both to steal the Silmarils and...

Well? Are trolls another of Melkors nasty creations? It would seem strange if they are, for often they have to be whipped and beaten by the orcs to get them to do what they are told. One would think that Morgoth would have bred a rather more obediant race to be his beasts of burden and siege.

Feanor considered using Melkor to help him leave Aman. If Feanor wants out this much before the darkening, why didn't he leave?

I am confused about one thing. If Melkor departs the Arda, where will he go? The Void? If so, then he can return at will even after the Valar overthrow him. Split from another thread in the HoME forum. -- Gorthaur

the first ever pics of melkor, SORRY...Only conceptual art/sketches! I have got hold of the latest pictures of Melkor straight from PJ and co! :cool: Want to see them?!!!! You'll just have to wait a little bit longer....... AND post loads of replies AND give good reasons why i...

Melkor was the first to instruct, or at least he made the suggestion of smithying weaponry to the Eldar, after his release from captivity. We know Aule had instructed Dwarves originally in speech, though in skill they would have the gifts and talents of their maker instilled in their very...

Was there any possible way that Melkor/Morgoth could have been changes from the being he was, into somewhat like the other Valour? Is was he soo curroupted that there could be no change in his heart except just feel the hatred?

I was just thinking somewhat randomly on Melkor and realized that I always refer to him as Melkor even though the Valar no longer call him that and in fact most of the time he is referred to as Morgoth. . .but for some reason, I don't like the name Morgoth. It sounds stupid some how and not at...

It was said in the Silmarillion that of the Valor it was Melkor who first discovoured the Quendi. This leaves me wondering why Melkor did not corrupt those that he could and kill those that he couldn't? Surely that act would fit his nature and lets face it, he did not have much else on his...

Was it ok for Manwe to pardon Melkor? Another topic from the Debate Tournament. When this was debated, it was not allowed to use the essay Ósanwe kenta. As I have not read it, I am not sure if that rule should apply here as well?

Can anyone shed some light on why the man upstaris (Eru) did'nt retract Melkor after the destruction of the lamps, and the destruction of his preciouse arda (which pleased him so) or even stranger; when Melkor percerted the elves and ents and produced orcs and trolls which was "most hatefull to...

It's been some time since I've reviewed the Sil and I'm not quite sure on what exactly the fate of Morgoth was. I recall the Valar casting him into the Hall of Mandos, but then some time later releasing him. Then I remember reading of Sauron's betrayal of Melkor and Melkor eventually being...

I AM SORRY I AM LATE!!!!! :( ************** 1/ Why, do you think, were there different types of literacy i.e. types of recording in writing? Could this fact be considered as representative of the development of literacy in “real” human history ? Or was it the “springs” of art? I think...

I am asking you a question. After Melkor's rebellion and after he was renamed Morgoth could he be counted a Vala? What is a Vala aside from an Ainu with more strength and taken with physical form? What was Melkor really in the Wars of Beleriand? Was he a Vala or just another Ainu with more...
