Very enlightening. Well researched, great work. I'll make one small suggestion and you can take it or leave it as you see fit.

I think it would fit in well and make the article even more enlightening if you were to add a bit towards the end about these 'spirits of malice' Sauron, Saruman, the Balrogs. Explain briefly what it means to be a spirit of malice, where they exist (floating around Arda I think?) and what happens after The End (will they all be gathered together before Eru?)

These things weren't clear to me until I asked our fellow Tolkien scholars burrahobbit and Legalos; if you think it fits in with the article, I think it would be new and valuable knowledge to many less read Tolkien enthusists like myself.
