valar

So in Morgoth's Ring it is explained Manwë's strike was well calculated and happened in the best possible time. So what's the point of Earendil if Manwë knew when to strike ? What would've happened if Earendil had not asked the Valar for aid?

After destroying Utumno why didn’t the Valar return to Middle-Earth? I get they had Valinor but Melkor was defeated. Now was their chance to finish or enjoy all of the things they’d made. Why not tutor the Elves there?

When exactly the Valar forgave Galadriel? Galadriel's line "I will diminish and go into the West" doesn't refer to her being forgiven. It refers to the Curse of Mandos and the fading and diminishment of Elves and "slain ye may be and slain ye shall be; by weapon or by torment or by grief and...

Why did The Valar Appear to The Free People Of Middle Earth Only in The First Age And Not in The Second Or Third Ages? And Why did Eru Never Appear to The Free People?

Why Did The Valar choose To Send The 5 Wizards To Help The People Of Middle - Earth Against Sauron instead of taking an Army to destroy Him Themselves?

So the Valar were mad at the Noldor after the Kinslaying but it seems excessively petty to condemn men and dwarves to be afflicted by Morgoth as well (especially considering Melkor was THEIR responsibility (they freed him after all)). The Moriquendi I can at least argue (they'd chosen to stay...

Did the Valar fight with the army during the war of wrath? What were valar like Manwe Tulkas doing during this war?

why is it that the valar did not start the second music of the ainur after disposing of Morgoth?

are the valar and maiar gods that serve the one supreme god Eru Illuvatar or are they angels of illuvatar? also are morgoth and sauron also a type of fallen angels in the works of tolkien?

how is it that the valar chose to give direct aid against morgoth but chose to simply send the istari or wizards later on against sauron? could it not have been enough to send the wizards to aid the free people against Morgoth like they did with sauron? is it because morgoth was more powerful...

if the free people sent a messanger with the ring over the sea to the undying lands to plead for aid from the valar what would they have responded? would they have rejected the plea for aid against sauron? or would they have helped out and cast sauron into the void beyond the door of night like...

why did the valar withdraw from the affairs of the world after the drowning of numenor? did they do it to punish the free people of middle earth? if so why?

It's obvious that the Calaquendi do (or at the very least the Vanyar do, as it seems all they want is to be near the Valar), but do the Elves of Middle-Earth also respect them? Do the Noldor who remain in Middle-Earth after the War of Wrath?

After the music of the Ainur, Eru shows them a vision of their creation, and they see 'much of what is to come' (or something similar, can't remember exactly what it says), yet they do not have the foresight to predict fairly major events like Morgoth feigning innocence (though in fairness not...

In The Silmarillion it reads: However, the War of Wrath spans some fourty years according to Lotr Project timelines (F.A. 545-587). It's also hard for me to imagine that at least the Noldor didn't take a chance to visit their relatives in Middle-Earth, or warn the free peoples about the...

I believe a mistake was made by Christopher Tolkien. I always thought Gandalf a maiar from reading the sillmarillion as Olorin was a Maiar. However, of course , our sillmarillion was not published by J.R.R Tolkien but Christopher and I believe Tolkien left us with the idea of two separate...

What would happened, if valar army had been defeated in war of Wrath? would morgoth tried attack valinor,if he had won war of Wrath? did valar had any back up plan if they had lost and forced to retreat?

In the Silmarillon one of my favorite part was The Valar, their powers, how they think and act and the philosophy behind them. My favorite one are : Oromë the Horn Blower, he was a powerful huntsman, he always fought against Morgoth and he was the one who discovered the Elves. He's anger was...

What is the Chance of the Valar Fighting for the Free People During the Third age? “Long years in Arda [Melkor] held dominion over most of the lands of earth.” -Valaquenta If Sauron had the upper hand and was winning the war of the ring would the valar send help? Or, even, why did the valar...

as we know there are many wars of Beleriand as melkor (or Morgoth) destroys the lands, but why for the longest time the Valar did nothing to stop Morgoth from destroying Beleriand and doing his evil? (until the war of wraith). (Edit: opps sorry i posted wrong section)
