Great statement, Tom. I think the only real answer is just that that's what they did. You can of course go into a whole load of detail and give them the excuses of not wanting to sink another portion of middle earth, not wanting to overwhelm the people's of Middle-Earth with all of their splendor and glory, or you could just say that they didn't quite like men as much as the first born. I suppose that if they did intervene, and brought in all of the Vanyar and Teleri and Noldor and Maiar, all for a few thousand people, it would be sort of a waste. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Of course, a real solid explaination would be that after the Numenor disaster, the Valar removed valinor from Middle Earth for a reason. They were done with the sorrows of the world, and would wait for the final battle and the end...

Pondering carefully,
