Who was in the Host of the 'Valar'?
I apologise most heartily if this has been talked about before, I've searched ( i've learned after my question about Elrond's ears ) but in the words of the great men of Yorkshire there was 'nowt' about this. I think someone asked this during a thread about something different but no one answered them.
Who was actually in the Host of the Valar? David Day's Tolkien Bestiary states that it was the Valar, the Maiar, the Vanyar, etc. But then then I realised that Tolkien fans hold DD in disdain and he doesn't seem to know what he was talking about etc. So were the Valar and the Maiar (except Eonwe) actually in it. I'd assume so because the force of all the remaining Elves doesn't seem to be enough to defeat Morgoth when all the Noldor, Sindar and Edain at their military peak could not especially with all his dragons and balrogs and what not. The Vanyar don't seem to be the war faring type and do you think a Maiar Eonwe could take down Morgoth. Tulkas on the other hand... The destruction of Beleriand seems to be similar to the early wars between Morgoth and the Valar and remember it was Tulkas who originally chained Morgoth so I'd assume he was the one who would do it again. But it is strange that Tolkien never mentioned him by name and also, Eonwe did all the talking surely Orome or someone if a Valar had been there would have spoken to the sons of Feanor.
