The Second Prophecy of Mandos refers to the End when Morgoth/Melkor will return. It is known that Morgoth was thrust out into the Timeless Void, and Earendil guards the Doors of the Night. Maybe The Dagor Dagorath will come when someone finds a way to release him, maybe that someone is either Pallando or Alatar, a traitor that has remained hidden since the dawn of time. I started to write a short story some years back, attempting to pull together a few loose ends, and entwining them with a few maybes. Within the story appear, The Ring of Saruman, The Moredhil (The Fathers of the Orcs, those Elves first caught by Melkor) The Origin of The Dark Tree. The Traitor Blue Wizard was Melkors insurance policy for when and if Sauron failed in his true mission of gaining the release of his Master. What we have to remember is that Tolkien is a translator, he is translating Elven histories. What if there is a Middle-Earth equivalent of The Dead Sea Scrolls, Maybe The Black Book of Melkor written by the other side. If anyone wants the start of this story e-mail me
