Pipe Has anyone ever...?

So, this comes to mind... were the Noldor not the slavation of Men? Imagine had they never sailed out of Aman, that Fëanor had been placated, everyone went back to their peaceful little existence in...

I have found Tolkien's mention of tactics in the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, in the Unfinished Tales. He refers to two Numenorean spear formations (can't quite recall the names right now, too...

Perhaps the whole thing isn't meant to have an explanantion? I doubt there is a conspiracy, or plan, involved in the "dispensing" of dreams and visions and foresight amongst various characters. What...

Having never read Smith I cannot post with much authority, but I do know what it is that moves me about the Silmarillion. It is the tragedy about it. The utter tragedy. So many noble figures,...

Even if he just robbed him of his physical form, it would be a feat. I believe he could have done it, for I don't think Fëanor was as bound by the Oath as were his sons, though perhaps it is because...

Well, 'virtue' is probably not the best word for it. What I still am trying to say, if I could find the right words, is that there is some 'root' of power in all virtuous and good things, though...

By virtue, it seems like there are beings of power, even if they are not 'magical' per se. Elrond refers, in the FoTR, to the "power of Rivendell" and the "power of Bombadil's house". I do not see...

You are also implying, with the numbers put forth, that every Elf fought in every battle. This doesn't make sense for a few reasons;
1) You have to assume that at least half of the Noldor present in...

The Nature of Magic in Middle-Earth

What exactly is the Nature of Magic in Middle-Earth? From the Tale of Beren and Luthien, we see Luthien do alot of "magical" things, such as sing all Angband to sleep, and make her hair grow so she...

Well, maybe Dior was given the choice in the same manner as Elrond? And also, was Elwing half-elven or all elven? These family trees get oh so confusing... :rolleyes:

It is my humble contention that Fëanor could have taken Morgoth in single combat. He was the mightiest of all the Children of Eru Illuvatar, he still had the light of Aman in his eyes, he way fey,...

I guess elves would have to be the obvious choice. If any of the Noldor in exile at Rivendell (before they left) could have been coaxed out to fight a warg-charge to settle our debate, I'd say they'd...

Has anyone realized that the WORLD i.e. Arda, is a tragic figure in Tolkien's works? At the end of every age, the world is that much more diminished. Everything following the raising of the first...

Fëanor. Obviously. He had the potential to be the mightiest of all the children of Eru in Arda, and to do the most good. Instead he doomed all of his people, and probably worst of all, his own...
