silmarils

As an excercise, I thought I would take the two story worlds that I enjoy thinking about the most (Tolkien's Middle Earth and My Little Pony's Equestria) and see how many similarities I can find. 1. Dragons Although many fantasy works have dragons in them of some distinction, it must be noted...

Once was casted into the ocean, one went in a chasm filled with fire. Since the entire Beleriand sank in the ocean, this silmaril could also be in the ocean or maybe in the land below. Either way, the Valar did have the power to recover them, especially the one that was cast into the sea. I am...

I know that Maglor ended up yielding to the will of Maedhros, but...this implied they had an argument about it and came to a consensus, didn't they? So I was wondering...couldn't Maglor just shoot himself in the foot to avoid going? Or stepping on a particularly sharp stone? Since elves have...

And Varda hallowed the Silmarils, so that thereafter no mortal flesh, nor hands unclean, nor anything of evil will might touch them, but it was scorched and withered; and Mandos foretold that the fates of Arda, earth, sea and air, lay locked within them. - The Silmarillion, Chapter 7, 'Of the...

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

Do you like Fanfictions? At least the ones about Sindars Since we don't know much about them?

If Shelob is a spawn of Ungoliant, a being which consumed raw practically the entire world's supply of magical light (whatever that is), why is Shelob's reaction to such light not comparable to Ungoliant's reaction to the Two Trees? That is, she should find it a tasty appetizer for her main...

Eight children Fëanáro Curufinwë had: seven sons, and one daughter. All were like him in fiery fierceness of spirit, yet not all shared his vengeful wrath, or his anger which was so easily provoked. All deeply loved their father and mother, yet some would be torn between obedience and...

To my understanding, this question roughly translates as: Are fëa (souls) compositionally the same as "holy light" (e.g. from the Two Lamps, Two Trees, Silmarils, etc.)? In the same way that Melkor grew weaker across the ages by investing himself in his monstrous creations, I surmise Sauron...

Since Ulmo is the King of the Seas, why did he not retrieve the Silmaril that was lost? By all rights, he should have been able to without any problem. While I know that he rarely left the sea, for so great a quest I would assume he could make an exception.

Hey guys! This is my first post. Was hoping maybe somebody could help me find some silmarils for sale or possibly morgoth's iron crown with accurate silmarils in it. I can only seem to find one crown on Google for sale and the 'silmarils' in it are all the same color. Thanks for the help!

I wonder if anyone else has heard this. I did a bit of digging and learned, to my amazement, that a Silmaril lies within the Arkenstone. So that whole time everyone was holding the darned thing, a legendary artifact of Morgoth's time lay inside. My question: How in the hell did it go...

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...

Something struck me when I first read Carpenter's biography some fifteen ago, a clear parallel between Tolkien himself and the hero of his most hopeful First Age tale, Release from Bondage. Of course we all know of the words graven into the tombstone of JRRT and Edith, so perhaps this parallel...

The Silmarillion, Chapter 19: Of Beren and Luthien Another topic from the Debate Tournament. Enjoy:)

the sons of Feanor knew she bore it but never made any move towards trying to obtain it or even ask for it. Any idea why?

I don't understand something... While I read the Sil again it suddenly occured to me that Thingol have actualy sent Beren into the quest to get him a Silmaril from the crown of Morgoth. Here is a quote: Of Beren and Luthien, 'The Silmarillion' It appears that Thingol actualy desired a...
