You may have noticed there are threads and threads of questions, though they have all been answered already. Are you a master of all things Middle-earth? Or is there a special area where you are more reliable? If you are going to offer your services so graciously, we want to be sure to get the most out of you that we can!
Welcome to the Downs! Have fun with the questions....

Do balrogs have wings? And if so, can they fly?

OK OK! Its started already. Let's resist our urge to ask our new friend Monty Python questions. And lets spare the Downs another round of Balrog Wings (and a pitcher of beer!). Instead, lets ask him a Middle-earth question as yet unheard of. Something fresh and new.... or something old and long buried....

How many years would it take for an elf to master archery and how long would it take for an elf to ride a horse. Or is that more instinct than learning. (did I word correctly? Oh well)
And welcome to the Downs!!! Enjoy your stay here [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And post often!

I withdraw the balrog wings, but the beer has already been poured!
So, ElvenArcher61, why do you think that some of the elves did not return to the Blessed Lands of the the West when called. And do you think their reasons for refusing the Call were valid?

Yes the balrogs have wings but no they cant fly, it takes a elf 5-10 years for a truly skilled elf, but for an average elf, 10-20. normally elves dont ride horses unless the occasion calls for it, such as a battle, or wanting to make a speedious trip somewhere.

Okay, superimportant question:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Nah, I'm just kidding. Welcome to the Barrow Downs.

the difference between the valar and the maiar is that the maiar served the valar and were not immortal, however, they did have a much longer lifespan than any creatures in Middle-Earth in the 3rd age.elwing's brothers were men. and i said before that the elves dont normally ride horses, thats because they prefer to keep Illuvatar's creations free. but when they do ride a horse, it comes very natural to them because they are in-tune with all things in Middle-Earth but there enemies.

The Maiar were Ainur, Elven. Thus, immortal. Sentence fragments rule.

Sorry, you can't. If people could change their names, it would be too confusing for other people. You could make another account, though.

Whip of Flame - was this an extension of the fiery being of the Balrog, or was this a weapon separate from the Balrog?
