BD-03: I agree, this is better in the Valaquenta. I'm a little concerned about the stylistic dissonance between the Valaquenta and the more informal MT text, but perhaps we should discuss that in the Valaquenta thread.
BD-16: Right. Sorry, I did not look carefully enough at my own text, nor recall our previous discussions, before posting it!

About the LT additions: I don’t think that your impression is fully correct

Yes, I hadn't looked carefully enough through your draft either, and missed much of the Lost Tales material you used. To be honest, I still have some reservations about the use of this Lost Tales material - namely, I wonder if the rather more "pagan" descriptions of the Valar and their dwellings might be considered implicitly rejected by Tolkien. But I think that in the end, I lean toward using them.
All right, I will find some time to study the texts more carefully, and then give you my thoughts.
