I do believe that Tolkien was merely writing an elaborate fictional fantasy world, full of legends that he could write. He did not neccessarily create LOTR, Sil., UF, or Lost Tales to say what happened, persay; it was really just because he wanted to write a story, as he says in his Foreword of the Second Edition LOTR.
