It is used as a counterbalance to the now missing [from various localations] Eonwe son of Manwe.

It is more of an update [albeit somewhat specualtive]. But either way it goes, it needs to be considered beyond the Valaquenta itself, esp in regards to the War of Wrath.

I lean towards keeping it, since JRRT DID do away with the Sons/Daughters of the Valar was discounted, so some other title would have been likely for Eonwe, and I can think of no more likely a title than that which CJRT came up with.
