So let me get this straight. The proposition (promulgated by our supposedly unbiased
moderator) is that we prevent the ravaging of the lands of Men by evicting one of those in a position to defend them ...
Hmm, interesting logic.

Mandos seems to be a great candidate to me. How can we tell if he's "too non-descript"? He's not been given an opportunity to shine thanks to the ease with which the Noldor were allowed to leave Aman. I think that he would make a superb Dark Lord. His gratuitous curse as the Noldor left showed his potential. And, as a Dark Lord, his curses would spice things up no end. Curses are a speciality of Mandos, whereas they are more of a side-line with Morgoth. So you see,
Lal, we need not miss out on the curse of Hurin and his kin at all if Mandos replaces Morgoth.
