valar

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...

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...

Greetings, apologies in advance if I ramble, too many thoughts at once, and I'm not the best at explaining them, and thank you for any replies and help in this :) As the title suggests, I'm interested in what Tolkien considers power or magic in this universe, particularly in regard to the...

I would like to ask you why do you think the Valar sometimes intervened so easily, while sometimes not, given that they are the guardians of the Universe? Did Morgoth manage to deceive them, or was it a matter of their decision not to step in? What is you opinion on divine assistance and grace...

VALA KILLERS Melkor Turin Turambar MAIA KILLERS Durin's Bane DRAGON KILLERS Turin Turambar Earendil Fram Bard BALROG KILLERS Ecthelion Glorfindel Gandalf Who do you think had the greatest success among these characters? I say Turin. Because unlike the others on the list, his name is...

I know the Valar send a select group of Maiar to sail to middle earth to aid the free people's in the overthrow of Sauron. However, surely there are more powerful beings than the wizards at the disposal of the Valar that could have defeated the lord of the rings much faster, much easier and with...

As you all know, since all the valar are gods, they are taller and much greater than all races in size and length. For example, melkor is said to be as tall as a tower. So which race do you think is closest to the valar in size? I vote for the dragons, because when the ancalagon flew through the...

hello friends, I used to love doing research on middle earth and sharing my research on the forums while using the middle earth forums of my own country. Now, after a long time, I did some research on the internet again. I present to you the real appearances of all the valar that Tolkien has...

We know that a bunch of Mair such a Sauron, the Balrogs, and Saruman all turned evil, but Melkor seems to be the only Valar to have gone evil (perhaps in some typology of Satan?). But suppose that Manwe or Tulkas also decided that they wanted to have things their own way and became a Dark...

My bet is Istari, sent to teach men through wisdom rather than exercise power. Irmo (Lorien) would be his Valar. Any other views?

Hopefully aligning with your own gender: Valar for male, and Valier for female.

I am genuinely intrigued to see what people come up with here, the are lots of obvious simallarities between these two powers. Such as the lords of the sky are both mightiest of their people: Manwe and Zeus. There is always queen of the heavens Varda and Hera. And the next in power the sea lord...

Out of the 14 Valar, which one do you think Melkor feared the most?

Help me decide...:D I've received invitation from Melkor to Angband already, but I can't just deny the Valar like this... :oops: So it came that she fled to a distant land where none inhabited other than herself, for the Valar of Arda sent no aid, yet Melkor had hearkened to her too soon, and...

We always talk about the first age and the third age. Let's talk about the second age a little bit. After all, we will see a lot of the second age in the series soon. Do you think Ar-Pharazon and his unprecedentedly large army of Numenor would defeat the Valar when they landed on Valinor?

Hi What Would The Valar Have Done If Sauron Won The War Of The Ring? Would They Have Helped Out Against Sauron Like With Morgoth? If Not Why? If Yes Why And How? Also How Did Manwe And Varda Get News Of The Events In Middle Earth After Eru Removed The Undying Lands From The World?

Hi Where The Valar Inspired By Greek Mythology Or Norse Mythology Or The Bible? Or All Three Sources? Also Why do None Of The Valar Appear In Both The Hobbit And The Lord Of The Rings?

Does anyone know what the banner of the Valar looked like?

Were the Valar acting of their own volition to not intervene? Or did Eru instruct them not to?
