[Cúdae]

If you ask me, the Valar are very self-centered...er...High and Mighty Beings of Power. By the time they finally drag themselves over to Middle-Earth (and ruin and reshape most of it in the process), the whole continent (or whatever you want to call it) is practically ready to self-destruct.

On another note, not only was Feanor badly in need of a group hug (not mention a big fat "Get over yourself and forget about the Silmarils!" followed by a slap in the face preferably done by his wife who no doubt was going insane by this time) but he had no common sense. Did he ever stop to think of what the consequences (sp?) of killing a whole bunch of the Teleri would be? I might also add, Feanor's more "eccentric" qualities seem to run in the family as I strongly believe that Caranthir was off his rocker too.

And now I have a very small comment to make: The start off Sauron's downfall was when he put all (or at least most) of his power into the Ring. Obviously he overlooked the fact that rings are both easy to loose and it is much easier to cut off someone's finger than someone's head. He would have been much better off if he had poured all his power into a nice necklace or something.
