Burberry, I don't think of the poems as being outside the legendarium.... Maybe someone can enlighten me where the boundaries are.

But for those who do, let's split the question: inside and outside the legendarium.... include Bombadil, and Smith, etc, and HoME.

EDIT: Burberrry?!? I've got to keep a closer eye on spellcheck...

I thought, on reading that post, of when Tuor first saw the Sea, leading to a lifelong love of and longing for it, something later shared with his son.

He then met Ulmo, becoming the first Man to speak with one of the Valar, one of the fourteen (formerly fifteen) Ainur who entered Arda.

Faramir, I too am reminded of Ulmo... Ulmo seems (if I may say it) the least ... political?... of the Valar, the most likely to show up and do something..
