Re: I,IV,V,77,X

To add a small sense of relief; DoV requires little information from MT.
MT mainly deals with Ainulindale and already has a version presented.
The real problem that you will be confronted with is in Vol. 12 Late Writings ( Of Dwarves and Men to be a bit more specific). But since the majority of that comes into play AFTER the return to ME, it's a situation that no immediate concern is needed.

From MT there are only really a couple of items that need to be remembered:

The Song of the Sun and Moon is Narsilion.
This implies that there is a chapter of this title. ;O

The Sleep of Yavanna works with 77 and MT as both are situating ME in darkness (and the trees and plants in ME need some 'supernatural' explanation either way.

After the Trees die; Tilion &gt;returns&lt; to the Moon, not the steersman of the new moon (as this is the proposed, and self-admittedly provable resolution on the sun and moon problem). Aren has departed long before, and the Sun no longer has an Ainu.

The Dome of Varda is a cloud cover that covers Valinor, not a stone or otherwise physical construction. It has imitation stars placed in the sky to mimic the outer reaches. This is the sight that Ungoliant sees...
See MT section III note 2 for full sentence structure.
See section XI for details on exact nature of Dome.

Other than that; I don't recall too many other problems with MT in DoV. <img src=biggrin.gif ALT="">
