I'm back, in a limited sense. Although my internet connection is now appalling, that won't stop me from using a discussion board ;)<br>And don't worry - I...
I'll have to agree with Amillo on this one. The fact that it is explicitly 'like wings' means that this can't literally describe real wings. Also, with the...
I'll tell you what...<br>lets say that the Balrogs had wings, however they were wings of darkness not wings of physical material - as this fits all references...
The balrog suddenly drew itself up to a great height and its wings were spread from wall to wall. This sounds as if it were no longer the usual height of 12-15...
Balrog magic or powers. In the Fellowship, "Bridge of Khazad-dum, Gandalf said he "put a shutting-spell on the door" and that it took time. Then the balrog...
Hail to the Valar Guild! :}<br>I have been looking for this passage for some time now, remembering having read it at one point, and I would like to add this to...
I really liked that picture of the West Gate of Moria. It gave me shivers because of how well it matched the picture in my mind. Thanks Varda.<br><br> I was ...
Hail to the Valar Guild! :}<br>It is I, Eonwe, formerly Valacirca, formerly Aragorn, making my first post as Eonwe (after spending the last couple of hours ...
Aiya!<br>Great topics Eonwe, fine insights Eru! My two cents:<br>1.<br>Arda can be conceived of as being in time and place, the Void as not being in time and...
Hail to the Valar Guild! :}<br>Sorry about my greatly delayed posting(it's been a week already?), as I've been busy.<br><br><br>On Melkor...<br>I had come to...
Effort At Clarification <br>About To Be Or Not To Be :) <br>in answer to our learned and most esteemed friend Eonwe-(Valar), <br>who said<br>"he did give them ...
Melkor can return from the Void. Otherwise guards would not need to be set against his return.<br> In the Silmarillion's "Of the Voyage of Earendil", it is...
Erhm... To be quite frank I've always found this part about guardians a bit inconsistent. For if - at all - Melkor has both the capacity and will to break from...
Not much about the Last Battle survived the editing of Christopher Tolkien into the Silmarillion. There is this great information in the article by the former...
(continued)<br>If so, then the question would be when this decision - to leave the Dagor Dagorlad out of the Silmarillion - was made. For in the first draft of...
The Last Battle was not dropped completely but is referred to in the Silmarillion, just barely.<br> "Of Aule and Yavanna": In telling of the beliefs of the ...
I have little time right now, but I believe I have an answer to the problem of Morgoth being kicked out of Ea. Doesn't it say somewhere in the Sil that after...
Aiya Elentari!<br>Indeed the Last Battle is still referred to in the Silmarillion, thanks for the reminder:). <br>The poem you mention is to be found in ...
The problem with "The Void" as a part of the cosmology of Arda, is the way this cosmology was developed by JRRT. Much as one would not expect from a literary...
Hey, I found a great site with a scene from the movie plus a description of what Balrog is going to look like. It's on www.13thstreet.com.<br><br>I think the...
Aiya!<br>I would just like to say that I am here again to stand upon the fringes of this board and to listen, entranced. I hope too to once again talk with ...
Hello All,<br> I brought this up yesterday during the weekly meeting on battle.net, and at the suggestion of Salmar, am posting it here.<br> Glorfindel and ...
Aiya Ecthelion!<br>Thanks for a great topic, and thanks also to Eonwe, for quite adequately countering my - as it turns out - erroneous theorizing at ...
