Re: dragons

Well I can admit that Balrogs were examined in the face-to-face meeting.

Interestingly enough; when examined, a possible explanation and insight was seen concerning the numbers of Balrogs.

It IS possible to accept both postulations of JRRT concerning numbers; i.e. At most 7 AND great multitudes (hoards) of Balrogs (mostly a result of an examination of earlier mythology ideas) and may be an answer to the integration of relevant text in the canon studies re: Fall of Gondolin.

I'll leave this concept open on this to allow speculation as to how this is possible... if needed, a new thread can be started.
