[Gothmog]

Cruel, Ang. Cruel as always. First the Glorfindel-loving-Idril hint to destroy the happy atmosphere and then this task. Revenge for a certain eviction, aye?

To evict Melian is one easy option. Without her the girdle will disappear and we know that it stopped most of the evil powers, with an exception for Glaurung, Ancalagon and a few more, strong dragons. Removing it would certainly make things a lot easier for Morgoth and his host. Besides her presence, beeing a maia, should encourage her people. Without her their morale will falter.

To have elves destroy elves will be a lot harder now when the agressive C brothers are evicted. As I remember, Celegorm was the one leading the assault on Menegroth, killing Dior. I say we go for a Melkorian attack instead.

And one other thing. If it's possible, I'd like to see Dior's sons, Elurin and Elured, meet an other fate than they did. I'd like to see them live and become adult. With the blood of Beren and Luthien, one drop man, one drop elf and one drop maia, their bound to end up as great characters. Just look at Elwing's fate! It was Celegorm's servant which left them in the woods to starve, and he's no longer around.
