After our decision that we will keep the Ainulindale strictly to the mater outside Eä, we have to move great parts of Text D into the Quenta Silmarillion. The first chapter Of Valinor and the Two Trees is (in my unpublished draft version) already very long. I would like to add a chapter for the telling of the story up the destruction of the Lamps and the dwelling of the Valar on Almaren. And of course this would also mean to delet the first § in Of Valinor and the Two Trees.
A headline for this new chapter is found easily in Sil77: Of the Beginning of Days.

Is that okay, or should I simply replace the first § in Of Valinor and the Two Trees, creating a very, very long chapter.

Respectfully
Findegil
