Please not this is mostly material transfered from Pt 1.[ w/ a little editing]

also note I removed the 'Quenya for qenya substituting ideas' as there seems alost no real support for that type of change. So the comments remaining in pt 1 will look a little funny till everyone cleans them up.

concerning Rog [ as I argued before, Rog is possibly the most aethetically dissonant name in all of FoG if not the entire BoLT. CRT stated bluntly that he was removed from the Silmarillion this very reason. I def would like to keep the story as we have modified it so far [ for balrog purposes] w/ the addition of Jallanite's suggestion that we use 'lord of the Hammer' .

OK another possibility I will explore later is keeping Rog's company and deleting his person. Just an idea. Or better yet keep his 'company' and still have a captain or lord, but mention no name. I do not have the time to look at the text to see how akward [or not] this could be, but I do want to have the idea down in case I forget it later.
