valar

My gf made six Valar pendants (I hope you'll recognize them) :)

The Title is pretty self explanatory, Who is your favorite Valar and why?

I know that they were spirits, and such, but did they procreate. I mean you know that Melian the Maia did, and she is the same thing just a lower choir shall we say. Hmmm. What do you folk out there think? I personally think baby Valar would be pretty cool.

I was wondering, could any of the Valar lose their physical shape? Such as in the extremely rare cases when they went to physical war personally? I know Melkor/Morgoth got 90% of his foot chopped off by some elf (his name escapes me) before he crushed him to dust, so does that mean that if said...

I have noticed that in re-reading the silmarillion, a cirtan number of the valar do not plan for the coming of men, they do no go in serch of man as they did with the firstborn. I belive that they dispised men (with the excpetion of ulmo). They were willing to let the elvs coming to Aman and...

I originally posted this in the Silmarillion reading project years ago, but discussion never started, and I'm still wondering about this, so here it is again: In the Silmarillion (Of Beleriand and its Realms), we read: Wherever I read of one of the Valar building, raising up, piling...

Most of the gods of Olympus and Asgard are frisky. Very frisky. I don't blame them actually. Honestly, if you live forever wouldn't you want a new face say every ten thousand years? I don't mean to upset anyone, but can you imagine living with the same person for a hundred years? I know I can't...

Just wondering who people think is similar to each of the Valar for eg: Morgoth and the Devil, Ulmo and Poseiden. If you make a suggestion, can you also put what race they're from.

For more than a thousand years, through a number of generations, the Dúnedain lived on. Although they never again became a numerous people, they still managed to maintain the line of Elendil all the way through to Aragorn. This doesn't sound quite like a coincidence to me, but perhaps others...

Should the Valar have released Melkor? If not, what should they have done?

So what do you guys think?

I have posted the start of a RPG here if you want to join the caracters are; Ithadan-Me Iantian-...(big caracter) Cheif of the village(name undecided)-... Pallando-...(joins in later) Now you can make a new caracter if you want, but state it here first please. The story as i see it is the...

"Begone old fool" the black figure cried and all those around him fell to the floor in fear"Thou knowest not the the power whitch you contend". Writhing on the ground was Iantian, he felt like he was being plunged in icy water and hope died in his heart. In despair he looked upon the figure as...

Are they the ones who originally spoke Quenya? Or was it the Elves? Hmmmmm....

From the Ainulindalë: What will then happen to the Valar after the world is complete? I was especially intrigued by the phrase "so that they are its life, and it is theirs." Does it mean that the life of the Valar are dependant on the existance of Arda? Will they then cease to exist when...

A thought struck me the other day, as I was re-reading some book from my favourite author: When Sauron and the Númenóreans prepared for the assault on Valinor, did Eru and the Valar know what they were up to? If they did: why wasn't something done to prevent the loss of so many lives, to...

This thread is fundamentally a small aspect of my future magnum opus (well, it is hoped to be), but I believe I need to discuss this before I consider writing that thread. So, it can be established that it was indeed the will of the Valar that the Noldor not leave Aman. I could be...

I have always been disappointed on the valar for their lack of interest for the race of men and especially their treatment of Númenor. As soon as they saw grievances within the house of Finwë in Tirion among the Noldor they moved in and solved the conflict, not only bbecause Fëanor threated...
