Eagles: Great Heros Of Middle Earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In the Silm, eagles and ents were agents of the Valar. They were created after that "dwarvish havoc". I read an LOTR commentary saying that the eagles and ents intercede only when Orome (and the other Valar) allowed - so they would then be, in fact, like angels. On a literary perspective, they were an element of divine intervention.
