Thorondor as a Maia??? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The only thing I can say is that it says that Gwahiar was a descendent of Thorondor at some point. I don't have the reference but i think I remember reading it. Apart from Melian the Maia there is no record of Maiar spirits ever having offspring. This neither proves nor disproves the arguement but it leans more towards the fact that Thorondor was not a Maiar spirit. I would say the relationship between Thorondor and Manwe was more like to that of Huan and Orome.
