I think that Aule and the beings associated with him were just the most inquisitive about the way things worked--artisans and scientists, even. I think these beings were just driven to figure things out, and some got way too obsessed with the results of their research and craft. Now, lets not start blaming science for all this bad stuff just because there were a few mad scientists out there... For me, I find Aule the most interesting of the Valar, and his children the most interesting as well...but then, I'm a physicist... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
