1) the Powers: I think ‘the Powers’ is still a valid equivalent to ‘the Valar’. I am not in favour of eliminating all such synonyms.

2) Maedros: Yes that is the name we decided to use, because it was the last Version Tolkien used.

About the more specific points:
1) I don’t agree to this. The flow of your editing is nice, put what you left out is the information what was the custom at the last day of the festival. It is only the planes that are talked about in the paragraph beginning with “Now their custom was …”. And §58b is then the real happening.

2) DoV-UN-00.2: The placement of that part and if we take it fully or shorten it is still open for discussion. I thin I added that part long after the discussion of this part of the chapter. When I find the time I will go through this again and post a list of changes I made and the reason for them.

Respectfully
