Re: Why is enigma pretty much tied with maia and earth spiri

I'd like to point out that it's possible that Tolkien had planned to change, or perhaps just finally disclose, the true origin of Man's mortality in his legendarium. Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth states that among the Edain, some believed that originally they were immortal as the Elves, but Melkor tricked them into worshiping him and turning away from Eru. Very highly recommended reading.
