Valar's Love for the Eldar
It is obvious from the Ainulindalë that the Valar had definitely a love for the Eldar:

I guess it is because Aule never left Valinor, like Ulmo, who had great power in ME, being the Lord of Waters. Aule does not strike me as very caring for ME, or one who takes any action to it, except the dwarves of course. Ulmo on the other hand seems to always in concern for ME, and it is also stated that he did seldom go to the council of the Valar, he was always at the shores and rivers of ME. One of coolest Valar in my opinion.

It could be possible, but I think also because he was the Lord of Water Ulmo knew what Morgoth did. He knew when he attacked the elves, and when he won, because of the many streams and rivers in Beleriand. Also the orcs polluted the waters, which must have seemed terrible to Ulmo. Lastly, Ulmo nearly lost his servant Ossë who nearly was seduced, and I think this made Ulmo more vigilant of the danger Morgoth posed.

Well, Aule had already went against Eru in making the dwarves, perhaps he was still a little wary.
I tend to agree that Aule seemed to show little interest in Middle Earth. I haven't the foggiest why though, after all he did create the land. You would think he'd go to visit the mountians or what not. Maybe it is also in his nature. Ulmo seems to be more fiery and independent, his maiar Osse definetly was independent due to his brief service under Melkor. Ulmo's personality always reminded my of Poseidon or Neptune from Greek and Roman mythology, both being extremely restless and somewhat hot headed. Aule seems to be far more serene and calm. This again reminds me of the Greek and Roman gods Hephestus (sp?) and Vulcan. Aule almost seems shy. This might help to explain a little something. |
