It should also be noted, since this is likely to come up, that the Valar do not seem to have been weakened by their entry to Arda, as wbilst they were "contained and bounded in the world", they are not implied to have had their power restrained.I believe we should analyze how the cosmology is described by Tolkien, that might give us a good starting point. Vs wiki states that not only did the Valar create the universe, but they all have a great command of it individually and a near total control of it all-together. Tolkien also said the Valar represent their concepts on essentially a universal scale.
This is one good description we have:
Now the Children of Iluvatar are Elves and Men, the Firstborn and the Followers. And amid all the splendours of the World, its vast halls and spaces, and its wheeling fires, Iluvatar chose a place for their habitation in the Deeps of Time and in the midst of the innumerable stars. And this habitation might seem a little thing to those who consider only the majesty of the Ainur, and not their terrible sharpness; as who should take the whole field of Arda for the foundation of a pillar and so raise it until the cone of its summit were more bitter than a needle; or who consider only the immeasurable vastness of the World, which still the Ainur are shaping, and not the minute precision to which they shape all things therein. But when the Ainur had beheld this habitation in a vision and had seen the Children of Iluvatar arise therein, then many of the most mighty among them bent all their thought and their desire towards that place. - The Silmarillion
Here is the Valar creating everything within Eä aka the Universe
But when the Valar entered into Eä they were at first astounded and at a loss, for it was as if naught was yet made which they had seen in vision, and all was but on point to begin and yet unshaped, and it was dark. For the Great Music had been but the growth and flowering of thought in the Timeless Halls, and the Vision only a foreshadowing; but now they had entered in at the beginning of Time, and the Valar perceived that the World had been but foreshadowed and foresung, and they must achieve it. So began their great labours in wastes unmeasured and unexplored, and in ages uncounted and forgotten, until in the Deeps of Time and in the midst of the vast halls of Ea there came to be that hour and that place where was made the habitation of the Children of Iluvatar. - The Silmarillion

We do not allow composites anymore sadlycomposite
Since I've been burned by this before: make absolutely certain it is canon.I have the Silmarillion and the Hobbit, I am planning to read them both + Lord of the Rings when I get my hands on em.
Also, would anyone be interested in searching thru the Middle-Earth RPG and making profiles for it? I hear it has good hax and what not and gives even more lore to Tolkiens original stuff, it was made a couple of decades before the 2000s trilogy came out so it was pretty close to the books. I was also thinking of maybe just making everything composite?
Yes. This is extremely important.Since I've been burned by this before: make absolutely certain it is canon.
I'll make a compliation of wording changes when I have time then. It's why I made that previous thread in the first place.If you mention what you wish to change first, and it seems to make sense to us, yes.
About this. Did LordWhis really do something bad enough to warrant a permanent ban, or should we let him back to our community?I really miss Azathoth, but he's gone. And LordWhis seemed to have had some knowledge, but he was banned a while back.
It's going to be really difficult to find some Lord of the Rings experts with them away.
Thanks, CIS really shouldn't be on a profile, that's just kinda sloppy.That's very understandable, the verse isn't in the best condition and even I can see that. These changes seem good by the way
Also CIS is "Character Induced Stupidity".
How do I do that? I don't believe I have permission to edit pages.Your suggested changes seem fine to apply to me. Feel free to do so.
I don't believe so, a change to wordings has been accepted, but nothing has happened with the ratings yet.Has an appropriate rating change been decided?
If some of the pages are locked, somebody should write down a list of the EXACTLY WORDED titles for all of them, so my automated script can unlock them.How do I do that? I don't believe I have permission to edit pages.
I do not think so, but informed suggestions are very welcome.Has an appropriate rating change been decided?
