morgoth

Like the text says, there is neither further evidence for nor against this unusual moniker of the Lord of Balrogs. How would you explain it? Isn't it ironic how a character who is supposedly 'the voice of Morgoth' never utters a single word? :D Do you think perhaps Gothmog was the 'voice...

This thread comes as a result of a question brought up by Ithrynluin in the thread "I am of the house of... Without Fëanor, would the Noldor have stayed in Valinor, or would they/some of them eventually have returned to Middle-earth? And if they would have stayed in Valinor, what would the...

Could Men be Iluvatar's greatest instrument against Morgoth?

I am re-reading the Quenta Silmarillion and yesterday I came across a confusing (to me) statement. It was something to the effect that Morgoth had help from outside Arda, and I had the impression that it was someone beyond Sauron, Ungoliant, orcs, etc. Unfortunately, I can't find the...

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...

Morgoth tried to turn the Edain against the Noldor, it rarely worked, so he sent messengers over Ered Luin and won the allegiance of some of those Men still in the East. When the Easterlings showed up in Beleriand, some were under Morgoth and others were not, but we aren't told which ones were...

The Doom of Mandos The Curse of Morgoth Which was the most effective? That is which was most fully complete in its intent, The Doom of Mandos or The Curse of Morgoth.

Another topic from the Debate Tournament: Failure of love or the Curse of Morgoth? From the Published Silmarillion: Of Túrin Turambar Yet the love was turned to Túrin. Is this a failure of love between Finduilas and Gwindor or was it the curse of Morgoth at work?

could he have defeated Sauron in one-on-one combat? After all, he did get a good slash in on Morgoth's foot (or was it the leg? it's been a while), and Morgoth was much much greater than Sauron. So if Fingolfin was able to get Morgoth's foot, do you think he would have been able to get...

What were the properties of this power of Melkor's? The Valar could not change the fates of the Children. Therefore was Melkor's power only temporary here? Or could he make Húrin sit there forever, if he wanted to? Also: Don't you think that the view was simply breathtaking from Húrin's...

Eh? Morgoth is Sindarin for "Black Enemy". Yet, Feanor names Melkor (which is a Quenya name) "Morgoth" when he rapes the Silmarils. How did Feanor know Sindarin? (This info is from a Counter-Strike player called [WOA]Hellraiser)

Feanorian said this in another thread, when we were discussing whether the Númenórean army that attempted to invade Valinor could beat Morgoth's armies from the end of the First Age; He's got a point there -- the Númenóreans apparently could not bind Morgoth with anything strong enough to...

When Sauron corrupted the Numenoreans, why did he make them to "pray" to Melkor? Was Sauron still loyal to him although he had been defeated?

I think this has already been asked however I am not sure. Was Sauron with the Ring more powerful than Morgoth? Could Morgoth had become invincible with the Ring?

Morgoth seems to me to have a lot of charachteristics of a mortal being. He is done bodily harm a number of times: seven wounds caused by Fingolfin including his foot, Thorondor marring his face, and the feeding of his living hand to Carcharoth (sp? to lazy to look it up but the big wolf that...

Does anyone know where I can find good fan art on Morgoth? Preferably Morgoth alone.

Let’s consider who of the Elvish Kings were the greatest threat for Morgoth (just after Dagor Bragollach). I would say that the three hidden kingdoms that caused the greatest headaches to Morgoth were: Doriath, Nargothrond and of course Gondolin. Someone might say that Fingon and Maedhros were...

Tell me what you think...

I was just wondering if Morgoth had feet in the Last Battle. It says at the end of the War of Wrath that Morgoths feet were hewn from under him when he sued for pardon from Eönwë. It aslo says in the Darkening of Valinor, or a chapter around there, sorry I don't have my book here with me, he...

I would like to know what happens to Morgoth when he is defeated?
