(Disclaimer: I do NOT hate Eönwë. I think he's quite cool, being the best Maiar and all, but a lawyer sets aside his personal feelings for the facts. So there!)

Eönwë must have had a lot on his mind after the War of Wrath. After all, he did let at least a Balrog and a few Dragons loose, and then about Sauron. Why was he not taken to Valinor? I think his (I say "his" because he has been given operational command in the expedition, not because it's all his fault.) shortcomings set the troubles of the succeeding ages.

So, am I bashing Eönwë too hard, or does he deserve it?
