It seems to me that Gwaihir has just posted a masterpiece!
That is how i percieved the two exactly. Sadly i'd say that ends the Manwe-Ulmo part of this discussion.
Veering slightly off the Vala themselves, lets discuss what parts (if any) they may have played in bringing about the outcome of the War or the Ring.
Was Ulmo responsible for Boromirs boat reaching Faramir? Was Manwe responsible for the eagles timely arrival in front of the Black Gate? Why were the winds and waters favourable to Aragorn and the captured black fleet? Were Manwe and Ulmo directly responsible?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,
Osse
