Well, since you said Ithryn and not Ithryn Luin, I will guess Allatar, Pallando, Curumo (or Curunír if you prefer Sindarin), Olorin, and Aiwendil.

Silmaril Well, I'll make it easy.

Who's nickname meant 'Queen of the Earth' and what was that nickname?

Always liked that name myself, actually.

Cheers, mates!

Nil is back, tell a friendster...

That would be Ómar-Amillo, Makar, and Meássë.

Ossë was a Vala in the Lost Tales, but he was demoted in the Silm.

It seems like only yesterday we were having so much fun on Familial Ties and Six Degrees.....anway, my question is pretty simple- which Vala "taught" two evil Maiar?

Perhaps you are referring to Aulë, because both Sauron and Curumo were in the beginning maiar of Aulë that later turned into evil.

Or Melkor can be an answer because it could be that Melkor instructed some of the maiar that entered into his service. He could have instructed the 7 balrogs perhaps.

I agree Maédhros, there are many possibilitys.

We'll just have to wait for Fingolfin, and his answer... *bump*

I'm very impatient, I know...

Sorry, I just realised this was pretty ambiguous. Maedhros is correct however with Aule. Sorry Aethelwine.

In the earlier legendarium, when the Valar assaulted Melkor, who was the Valar who was about to kneel before Melkor in order to deceive him and take him back to Valinórë?
