Ungoliant was clearly powerful, but I believe we must not mistake subcreative power for fighting abilities. Melkor always seemed not to have been a great warrior. Fingolfin caused him quite a big... |

What sort of accounts am I to find in these books? Are they nice to read? Are they similar to those of the latest books? Is there any additional info or are there only accounts of previous writings? |

History of the Lord of the Rings
I have already read some volumes of the HoMe which correspond to the narrative of the Silmarillion. I hadn't bought those ones talking about the LotR out of lack of interest. However, I have recently... |

Towers of Minas Morgul and Cirith Ungol

Awaken or born by Cuiviénen?
I've always considered that Elves like Finwë, Elwë and Ingwë were awaken by the lake of Cuiviénen. However, in "Cuivienyarna" it is told that each of the 144 Elves awaken there had their own partner.... |
