morgoth

I was reading the final part of the Peoples of Middle Earth. There is a tale about a man, Nan-Elmar I think, a story that happens at the end of Eldarion's reign. Basically, after the defeat of Sauron, there weren't any non-human enemies, nobody with cosmic level powers. Gondor/Arnor and Rohan...

The Valar claimed to love the Children but if we judge them by their actions rather than their hymns, the case for their “benevolent guardianship” starts to crumble like Númenor’s coastline. Let’s talk about the pattern of their “help”: They imprison Morgoth only to release him out of pity...

I believe that the two did battle but that Feanor was slain. However, given that, later on, one of his kids at least maimed Morgoth, I don't suppose that it was beyond the realm of possibility that Feanor had NO hope of winning. Anyway, suppose that he HAD won and had taken back the Simirals...

I mean, those who have a direct role, not merely being an ancestor of someone who did Melian: It was from her that Luthien got the magic abilities she used to help obtain the silmaril Luthien: very important, he powers allowed Beren to get the silmaril, that would be crucial later. Dior: His...

Here is a very interesting video I found, examining Tolkien's writings and speculating on the possibility of Morgoth's return in Arda's future. This idea is brought up: Númenor could have been destroyed because they aimed to overthrow the Valar and thus allow Morgoth to return sooner (as they...

What's your belief? Here are some questions as brainstorm ideas: 1. How does Eru Ilúvatar’s granting of free will to the Elves and other beings play into his decision to allow Morgoth to torment them? Is it an inevitable consequence of free will, or a test of faith? 2. Did Eru Ilúvatar have...

I'm currently re-listening to The Children of Hurin audiobook, and I'm a little unclear on what Morgoth's curse on Húrin and his kin did. Yes, they all died tragic deaths, but was there anything they could have done to prevent it? For example, if Turin had stayed in Doriath would he have been...

Been thinking about this since I watched the latest season of Rings of Power and honestly it gives me a new perspective on Sauron. I honestly think if Morgoth returned some how it'd play out like how Darth Sidious's and Darth Maul's reunion did. Sauron would sense it and be terrified he'd...

I find it absolutely funny that the main bad guy of Tolkien's legendarium, created mountains to rise out of the earth, to hinder Oromë, and make travel difficult and treacherous for the Children of Illúvatar. And the guy who stole the ring of his Lieutenant is talking about the first thing he...

Fingolfin fighting Morgoth. about 12x12 inches, acrylic on composite clipboard.

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/War_of_Wrath?so=search In the article on this site, it is written that Turin killed Ancalagon in the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth chapter of the book Morgoth's Ring. Is this really true? I looked at the PDF of the book a lot and did not see such a prophecy and...

I am reading and loving The Children of Húrin and have just read the superb chapter three including the debate between thrall Morgoth 🤣 and Húrin. This section read literally suggests Morgoth effectively made Húrin immortal albeit only in theory and goes against my understanding of the usual...

When exactly during the first age did Morgoth make wargs and werewolves? Was it during the war for the sake of elves or after he returned to ME? Or was it all Sauron's work?

Did Morgoth create dragons? Or are they some form of corrupted thing? Wasn't Morgoth unable to create things from scratch?

Hello everyone! I need these informations for a writing project and I don't have access to HoME unfortunately so I was hoping you could help me with it! I need to know how long did it take for these events to take place: 1.morogth and ungoliant reaching ME 2.the flight of the Noldor and...

On the suggestion of Elbereth and Ent, here's a list of references to Morgoth in The Lord of the Rings. I don't know if this is all of them, so anyone feel free to add more (that's what this thread is for): The first reference is by Tom Bombadil, though whether he's talking about Morgoth or...

Fingolfin is the best and most skilled and greatest swordsman who has ever been witnessed in not only middle-earth mythology, but also all imaginary and fictional universes, and all created universe, including humans in real-world history. he is even capable of defeating characters such as...

Do we know the time length between Morgoth being released from Mando's and the darkening of the Valinor?

How many meters tall do you think Morgoth and Sauron would have been.

Why was morgoth able to touch the Silmarils if they were hallowed by varda herself and couldn't tolerate the hand of evil?
