Re: Orcish Fear

1. Why is Ancalagon gone? Are you referring to Andreth's Prophecy re: the Final Battle? Even that Prophecy wavers a bit as to details. Ancalagon was still around at least as late as 1951 in JRRT's rewrite of the Tale of Years (First Age). He's also referred to in LoTR.

2. Venus is not the north star. Why is Earendil's Star Rigel?

"The Silmarils with living light
were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
