Regarding using the Lost Tales: I still think it's an interesting idea, but the doubts expressed in my previous post still stand. We have the dual problem of 1. whether we want, in principle, to let ourselves use bits from the Lost Tales freely and 2. whether that can even be done within the structure of the Valaquenta.

If I have some time, I'll look into the latter question later. It would be helpful, though, if you could suggest some exact passages from the Lost Tales and their exact placement within the Valaquenta.
