Ar-Luman has just left Hobbiton.
Sting Beren in Angband

When Luthien had lulled all the forces in Morgoroth's court to sleep, instead of taking just the one similral why did Beren not just take the crown that held all the similrals. Or better yet why did Beren and Luthien not just slay him where he was. Granted he was an ainu, but Grima Wormtounge slew Saruman. Even if Saruman had fallen from grace, so to speak, I am sure he still retained some power. Also Morgoroth was less powerful then he was before he turned to his own will.

This leads me to a thought. Even when the most powerful rebeled against the will of Illuvatar they lost power in some capacity. If this loss in power was not instilled, would it have not be harder to overcome the evil of Morgoroth. Do you think this was some type of constingency plan set up by the creator to help those that are weaker. That if one should turn to evil that were more powerful than the rest, then there is hope in the fact that power that is corrupted is itself weakend. One could say if Morgorth had all his power then he might not have been conquered, but I say if he had all his power then that would mean he never fell and was still good. Then, there would be no reason to overthrow him.

Sorry for going off my original topic it was just something on my mind.
