morgoth

Hi guys, i just finished this commission, i was really excited to do this art because 99% of the arts of this battle, Morgoth is always on focus, he's always that huge figure in front of the screen, and Fingolfin is a tiny thing compared to him, and almost every time hi is with his back turned...

As I understand it, Melkor/Morgoth corrupted life and made evil things out of spite and jealousy because he was not allowed to create beings of his own for his own glory. If he had been allowed to create a world of his own beyond Arda, in exchange for aid in crafting Arda perhaps, could he have...

Gandalf as a maiar eats, so does Saruman. Sauron is a maiar as well. DOES HE EAT? ! Does he drink? ! He is evil unlike Gandalf and less humanlike and that's the well. .... P. S = Does Morgoth and his Balrogs eat?

She was so powerful that she managed to get a silmaril just with the help of a man and a dog. I don't think she could have killed Morgoth on the spot, but what about with the help of an army and Melian?

Did it have a name? And if it didn't, what would it's translation/name be in Quenya?

Christopher Tolkien took most of the material for the published sillmarilion from Tolkiens early versions pre 1937 in the lost tales correct? So would the lost tales contain information about how much of the published sillmarillion came to be in its final form?

I feel like there's more than a little irony in the fact that Melkor raises the Misty Mountains to hinder the riding of Oromë; then ages later Sméagol carries the One-ring of Sauron to the roots of those very mountains to eventually be discovered by the unlikeliest of heroes.

After Sauron's defeat when he lost the Ring, he and the Nazgul were said to have been banished to the Shadows and 13 centuries later, reformed and returned to Middle-Earth from out of the East. Question: What are the Shadows? Question: Did Sauron and the Nazgul have any sense of awareness...

so ungoliant devours the two trees (which makes her grow to an immense size, Unknown but I have speculations that she is a bit smaller than ancalagon the black) and demands the three simarils, morgoth refuses and gets pinned and strucked by ungoliant, which sends morgoth into a great cry that...

Hello, i just oil painting Fingolfin vs Morgoth and wonder your thoughts. Scene from Silmarrillion, moment where Fingolfin calls Morgoth out at the gate of Angband. i think original work belong to Joel Kilpatrick.

A BIG WHAT IF: A discussion on the thread about the Red Star in FOTR, The Ring Goes South got me thinking about this If, again BIG IF, Morgoth was able to witness the time from Smaug's attack on Erebor, to events of The Hobbit up until the the beginning of the Fourth Age, what would be his...

Found this while surfing around...thought I would share....sorry 'bout that... (Link to site found, in the Headline; elffetish.com) Twenty Short Stories About Morgoth By Claudio 1) Manwë As Melkor sat chained by Angainor in the furthest chamber in the Halls of Mandos, he...

I've always wondered what other people call the the dark lord when dicussing him. i myself always call him Melkor. Morgoth is his evil, "The Dark Enamy Of The World", whereas Melkor is the being that walks the earth. And if i were in the world that tolkin created, weather it be elf or man, i...

I am on my first time reading The Silmarillion. I am almost finished with two chapters left. But a question that I keep asking myself is, unless I have missed a small dialogue somewhere- Why was Morgoth not enraged when he discovered a silmaril was missing from his crown? With his previous...

I'm interested in what you all think about Glaurung's position in Angband's military. From what I've read in other threads, the overall feeling seems to be that Morgoth is top dog, with Sauron and Gothmog being equal in rank (i.e. they cannot order each other to do anything and answer only to...

Who Had More? Easy Question, Right? Yes it is, but the answer will surprise you, right out of 'Morgoth's Ring', Myth's Transformed', Essay #7, Page 394: 'Sauron was 'greater', effectively, in the Second Age, than Morgoth at the end of the First. Why? Because, though he was far smaller...

Dagor Aglareb, the third great battle of the Wars of Beleriand, was a huge victory for the Noldor, as they wiped out every single ork in Morgoth's army. After that, the so called "Siege of Angband" ensued, which lasted for almost 400 years. Now this made me wonder, why did the elves not make...

Morgoth boasts that he is in control of Turin's fate, and that his curse is on all the children of Hurin. Did he know he would lose Glaurung? Did the loss of Glaurung seem worthwhile? And was he, from his point of view - i.e. militarily, right?

My friend and I were having a discussion on Morgoth's sea creatures. Does Morgoth have sea creatures under his domain. I hold the veiw the he not have any sea creatures. Of course there is the watcher at the gate of Moria, but is that Morgoth's, Souron's, or the watcher own himself? I do...

Though Gwindor is said to have escaped, given all that happened, do you see any chance that he was an instrument of Morgoth's evil will? Did the elves of Nargothrond have sufficient reason to trust Gwindor in your opinion?
