Re: Coronation of Aragorn

Maia were the vassels of the Valar. I look at it like the middle ages in europe under the fuedal system. The King and Royal blood line are the most powerful. Then there are other rich people around but are not of royal blood line. And they are the vassels of the royalty. So in a way it is same with the ainur of Ea. The royalty is the valar and their powerful vassels are the maia. Or if you dont want to think to much about it. The maia are the servents of the valar. It think that was said in the Valenquenta or something.
