Ulmo - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Secret Fire · 10-07-2003, 11:42 PM

I have recently begun re-reading the unfinished tales, adn coupled withmy UT and LOTR, along with the Silmarillion, I have come to realize three major points:
Eru Lluvatar closely instructed Ulmo in the art of singing before the beginning of the world, giving him more power and foresight than even Manwe.
Ulmo has power over all the waters of the world [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] , what a shock, and therefore able to "control" and perceive many of the movements in the world and his knowledge was deep, aiding his foresight, may I say a rival to Manwe's eagles. Although he did remove himself to the outer waters, he was still able to have impact on the movements if the world in the second age.
In the second and third ages, Ulmo was the most loyal vala to the plights of men and elves, aiding them in their quests, from tuor to , may I bravely state Aragorn with the favorable conditions for the ship trek and giving news to Faramir of Boromir (yes, perhaps a stretch)
Because of these realizations, I see Ulmo as the vala most true to his original intention, to protect Middle Earth and the like. If any of you have any ideas, just tell me, this is completely open, so any ideas on Ulmo are desired. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
