The 1,000 Reader is still gossiping in the Green Dragon.
Possibly, but not likely. Tolkien would have mentioned something about them if they were.

On Valar
Might it be that Melkor had "courted" Varda for it is said in Sil:
Quote:
From the depth of Eä she came to Manwë's help, for she knew Melkor already before the Music and rejected him, and Melkor hated her...
Then translation is mine so it's quite horrible, but I hope you get the point. The quote is from Valaquenta. Especially I would be thankful if someone could check the correct verb (I used "reject"), because it was the thing that made me wonder all this. Did valar have any romantical feelings? I've always thought that they didn't but why did they then marry? To compose a union? Why there weren't any male unions then?

Well, you're no Tolkien, but I'm impressed at how closely your quote:

Quote:

...resembles Tolkien's original:

Okay, now that I've said that, you can go back to your original topic...

Gorthaur the Cruel has just left Hobbiton.
Why did Sauron fear Galadriel the way Saruman hated her?
