***Poll of the references of Rúmil and Pengoloð in the Ainulindalë ***

[Petty Dwarf]

My late vote goes for keeping Rumil and Pengolod.

A Pengolod is needed because, obviously, Rumil never left Aman. The Aelfwine elimination seems clear cut and final (and with him goes Eressea's neccesary part). With Bilbo involved he's no longer a relevant character. Here's my opinion:

This was made by Rúmil of Túna in the Elder Days. It was held in memory by the Exile Pengold and those parts which we learned and remembered were thus set down in Numenor before the Shadow fell upon it.
