My more learned compatriots,
Okay, I know that I need to read the book itself, but it will be a good while until I get this far into the HOME, and I'm incredibly curious. What does the title of Volume X of the HOME refer to? I can't imagine a way of interpreting The One Ring as being...
i've been wondering about the Ainur. Do they have a physical appearance? What do they resemble, and morgoth in particular. I wonder what he would look like. Anyone got any info on this?
this was a passing thought i had whilst showering, could Fingolfin have defeated Morgoth? please post your thoughts as to why/why not.
I believe he could have done seeing as Morgoth could bleed and didnt Fingolfin just finish another battle when he challenged Morgoth
Also was Morgoth (when he...
Ive seen a 2nd type I guess of the Silmarillion called Morgoths Ring. What is it? It has basically the same chapters. Why a different book? Is it like the "cut scenes" from the silmarillion?

Just a thought to get some feedback on. Who further Morgoth's will more against the elves while Morgoth was still around, Sauron, Gothmog, or Feanor? The kinslaying, the oath which ultimately led so many to doom, and the leaving of so many to take the treacherous journey to the north when...
When Illuvatar catches Aule in "a hall under the Mountains of Middle-Earth" (the precursor of Moria?) just after he creates the dwarves, he says to Aule:
"For thou hast from me as a gift thy own being only, and no more; and therefore the creatures of thy hand and mind can live only by that...
It is clear that many Maiar gave allegiance to Melkor. Some he perverted or corrupted, but many were simply drawn to his splendour.
What is it about Morgoth that attracted so many Maiar to join with him in rebelling against the works of Iluvatar and the Valar?
Were they disillusioned or...
Could Sauron with the ring in his possession rival the might of Morgoth himself? Or is there no way a Maiar can defeat a Vala? Perhaps we'll never know. What do you all think?
If you could choose an elf to battle Morgoth, who would you choose?
I would choose Curufinwe, because he had the greatest hatred toward Morgoth, he was the only elf who had the passion to say the hell with the valar, i want revenge against Morgoth (Not literalilly but I think that was the...
I have read from various threads that when Morgoth enters back to Arda through the gates of night there will be a final "Armageddon" battle in which all men and elves shall fight against all bad creatures.
The prophecy says that Turin - yes TURIN - shall avenge his father and his fate set by...
Which one is a more credible foe to all that is good and right?
I'd say Sauron myself.
In the books Melkor/Morgoth comes across like a spoiled brat who goes crying off to his balrog's and Sauron with the first sign of trouble! The one time he openly attacks a prepared opponent (Finwe...
