The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I have found an ancient Valarin text in Ingwë's house. (If you ask how I can enter the King of All Elves' home just like that, it's simple: we're related.) It deals with the events before the Music of the Ainur came to pass--indeed, even before the creation of the Ainur. An excerpt from it is here quoted:

Before everything else Eru first made the seven Grawlar, the Holy Wargs, and there were seven of them. The mightiest was Varsur, the Regent of Eru.

It is said that when the Timeless Halls was completed, Eru said unto Varsur: "Behold I give unto you all authority in this halls, and you shall be its prince, and you will be subject to none, save to him who appointed you." And he was clad with a cloak of precious stones, as a symbol of his office.

However Varsur's pride grew, and walking through the passage of the Timeless Halls he deemed himself to be subject to none, and he attempted to seat himself in the throne of Eru. And the other Grawlar attempted to stay him, yet Varsur was more powerful than they, and soon his foes were subdued, and he trod the steps up to the throne.

Yet Eru came, and with a voice of utter deepness he ordered Varsur to step down. Stripping him of his cloak, he was banished to the Void, where it is said he would remain, until the end of days has come.

It is said the Melkor received instruction from Varsur, and thus caused the fall of that mighty Ainu. It is also said that when the Powers grow weary of their vigilance the twain would break into Arda and battle even with Manwë upon Taniquetil. And for a time they would be victorious. Yet in the end Eru will send the faithful Grawlar, under Argwë, brother of Varsur, and they would vanquish utterly that dread Warg.

Eomer:

I am currently deep in negotiation, but I am now at a loss at what offer to take. The Phytagoreans are offering me a perfect score in any subject connected to Math, while the Jesuits are offering me full ownership of a school they own in the Philippines. Which one to take?

(Sorry to any Phytagorean or Jesuit reading this.)
