Vala - Melkor. What can I say, he's the most powerful of the Valar and I always like to root for Tolkien's villains. Maia - Melian. Not only was she beautiful and wise, but she was also powerful... |

I agree that Gandalf was done a horrible injustice in that scene. This is one of the wisest and most powerful beings in all of ME, but he is made short work of by the Witchking. That said, I don't... |
