What if Valar, Maiar, or Eldar are still around? How do they earn their living in this modern age?

Hmm... Ulmo (I hope that's his name!) is in charge of the sea. He's responsible for the Titanic, and therefore, one of the most popular movies ever!

I wonder how much $$ he'd get for that? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

and let's not forget that Tulkas invented WWF [shudder]

I heard that Manwë guy got sick of his day job and is living in North Carolina.

Hm...

Namo is the keeper of the "House of the Dead." I am sure he would be none less than a mortician. The keeper of the mortuary!

And Nessa would be the Prima Ballerina for the New York City Ballet Company, although dancing on stage would never be the same as dancing on the green lawns of Valinor.

Oprah could be Nienna.

Aralaithiel · 03-01-2002, 09:34 PM

OK...if Nienna is Oprah, then who's Jerry Springer?
Hey...I think I saw Manwe hanging out with Elvis in Memphis at Graceland!
I knew Tulkas was behind WWF!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

While his wife Varda would enjoy setting up attelites to shine in the night sky now that star-creation is out of business.

Hmmmm...if the Valar lived among us now, would they be hanging out in libraries and chasing after Meg Ryan?

Aralaithiel · 03-02-2002, 01:29 PM

Yeah, I think Manwe changed his name to Leopold! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-05-2002, 07:23 AM

Birdland, I went to the library to check it out, but no one fell in love with me! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Do you think it only works for blondes?!
As to Varda, I think she's a Hollywood agent - that's the way to make stars nowadays! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Yeah, who'd a thought it'd be that hard to get someone to jump off a building and give up their eternal place in Heaven for you?

Are the Valar pickier than archangels, or are they just afraid of commitment?
