Re: Myths Transformed, part of the Canon, yea or nay.

For Durelen: Myths Transformed is a segment of HoME 10, where JRRT started to rethink several core concepts of his mythos. Issues addressed include changing the mythos from flat earth to round earth, changing the origin of orcs and the timing of the arrival of men, etc. Interesting stuff and potentially tough to reconcile with the existing Sil.

were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
