Oh yes, possibly. I must have made a conclusion based on this a long time ago and it grew to incredible size. Thank you anyway.

Hmph. Well, that Aulë thing is quite logical - you know, Aulë, forges, fire, earth, lava, these things. I probably thought so as well at first - but later, when I "learned" that the Balrogs were Varda's, I considered it as much interesting as unlikely, and so that settled it.
