The Balrogs were believed to be Maiar corrupted to the service of Morgoth early on.The only Balrog remaining in
Middle Earth after the War of Wrath is apparently the one in Moria. In Letters number 144:

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> The Balrogs....were primeval spirits of destroying fire, chief servants of the primeval Dark Power of the First Age. They were supposed to have all been destroyed in the overthrow of Thangorodrim, his fortess in the North. But...one had escaped and taken refuge under the mountains of Hithaeglin (The Misty Mountains).<hr></blockquote>
There is no mention of any more balrogs being 'born' after the fall of Morgoth.

And by the way, welcome!

Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000125>Inziladu n</A> at: 8/15/01 4:00:12 pm
