All the Valar as well as their servants,the Maiar came into Arda from the darkness of the Void. I think that is what is meant here. As for Ungoliant's, origin,a corrupted Maia seems the most likely. Nothing else seems to fit.

Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000125>Inziladu n</A> at: 3/17/01 11:12:41 am
