Well, I won't repeat all the benefits that were written, but certainly, Middle Earth did get a big slice of the cake from her coming there.
In my mind, the whole Manwe's scheme of getting the Elves...

Tolkien didn't just write a fantasy book. He created a fantasy world and a whole shiny new mythology for the world.
All the characters in the books are EXTREMELY well written, extremely well formed...

The Books, in my opinion, will last forever, because they're classic and classic never dies.
Imagine, when we all live in space colonies (because Earth will go KABOOM one day certainly) they will...

One thing for sure, I doubt Galadriel could do *magic* tricks like Gandalf. And the Elven Rings were made to preserve, not to destroy.
I guess in war she would depend upon her skill and upon her...

Hail and well met, Ardolon. Have fun being dead smilies/wink.gif. I think that Eldarion and his siblings would have had a longer lifespan than Aragorn's because their mother was still Elven. She...

Celeborn and Legolas did leave Middle Earth, but there was nothing said about Thranduil (at least I haven't heard).

Tolkien is the father of all modern fantasy. All other writers were inspired by him. What makes the Books so great, in my opinion, is that it *could* have been real. smilies/tongue.gif It WAS real ...

I think it says she took part in the first Kinslaying, though I'm not sure. If she did, it's obvious she could wield a sword and protect herself. I doubt thousands of years of *relatively* peaceful...

Yeah, I think he was trying to surpass Feanor. But Feanor never listened to anybody smilies/wink.gif. Which is both a good and a bad thing.

Great ideas, those. The High Elves, in my opinion, were VERY changeaphobic. I do believe that the Valar can be blamed for that. Imagine, living in a place where nothing ever changes, and then someone...

I fully agree with you, Morwen. Hobbits aren't resented, like someone here wrote, but neither are they taken fully seriously (unless they carry a Ring of Power smilies/wink.gif).

Somehow, I can't see Faramir as Cancer... I wonder why smilies/wink.gif. Actually, he's more of a Libra, judging if Frodo should or should not be allowed to proceed *sagely expression*.

Gandalf's past was on a need-to-know basis in Middle Earth. Everyone who needed to know did. He spent much time around hobbits, who wouldn't have understood his real power. He was just a firework guy...

Personally, I don't think Aredhel's and Eol's marriage could be considered 'unhappy'. Like Morwen said, Aredhel married him willingly and was happy for many years.
Even Turin's and Nienor's...

Hehe, that seems to be as good an explanation as any other. I've always wondered why exactly hobbits are a sub-race of men. Did they de-evolve or something?
Maybe they were created by a Vala, just...

Of course they did all those things (farming, washing, ironing etc.), but they probably did it in a way that would make those tasks seem glorious and neccessary (and they were, neccessary at least). ...

I'm pretty sure all of them were male, mainly because there were no ruling queens in the Dunedain kingdoms of Middle Earth (please correct me if I'm wrong), even thought there were in Numenor. ...
