Yes, the Meduseld interpretation was quite pathetic. I always imagined it made out of pure gold, and Edoras to be bigger and better protected than it appeared in the movie. <P>Rivendell seemed to be...

Doubtful. The only races that Iluvatar created are his Children. All other animals were created by the Valar, before Arda was Marred.

Elves prefered things the way they were and Men seemed content with slower advance. I think it is the Numenoreans who actually did use steel crossbows.

Thank Iluvatar that never happened! Yes, the Valar would have done something like that if there were no other choice.

Wow. When I first read the Hobbit, I didn't think Arkenstone more than it appeared to be. However, this discussion has almost convinced me it could be a Silmaril.

The War of Wrath only happened because Earendil managed to sail to Valinor and beg for help. The Valar would not have interfered unless Morgoth would have threatened Valinor.
