Hail Thingol, son of whoknows(?), and well met! We meet again on this perpetual battlefield of Balrogs and Dragons!
I give thee joy to know that there is something that I would like to point out about that particular quote. It is from the Lost Tales and so it is not strictly canon. The power of Dragons tended to grow as Tolkien revised the work, a point shown in the discussion on Glorund's meeting with Nienor in Lost Tales II.
(Yes, yes, I know that the power of Balrogs also greatly grew, but I could not resist the opportunity to fire off a round, for old times sake.) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
