Like i said in the Ainulindalë-projet thread :
The project of Ainulindale need to be merge, i think, with two others sub-project : - The Valaquenta - The First Chapter of the Quenta Silmarillion : CRT's Of the beginning of the Days. This is my changes that i propose for a revised version of the Valaquenta: { } Material to be deleted. Italics Material inserted for grammatical reasons or as editorial bridge. The text of the Valaquenta can be found in the published Silmarillion (77 or 2001 version). Vala-01 The names of the Lords in due order are: Manwë, Ulmo, Aulë, Oromë, Mandos, {Lórien} [Lóriën], and Tulkas Vala-02 With Manwë [now] dwells Varda, Lady of the Stars, who knows all the regions of Eä. Cf the text of CRT Quote:
The spouse of Aulë [in Arda] is Yavanna, the Giver of Fruits. Cf the text of CRT Quote:
Námo the elder dwells in Mandos, which is {westward} [northward] in Valinor. Cf the text of CRT Quote:
the Sindar Tauron, the Lord of [the] Forests. The translation of Tauron should be 'the Lord of the Forests'. Vala-06 Eönwë, the banner-bearer and herald of Manwë [, whose might in arms is surpassed by none in Arda]. Cf the text of CRT Quote:
Vala-07 [He was humble in the Land of the Blessed; and in Middle-earth he sought no renown. His triumph was in the uprising of the fallen, and his joy was in the renewal of hope.] Cf the text of CRT Quote:
{HERE ENDS THE VALAQUENTA} [Here ends The Valaquenta. If it has passed from the high and beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred; and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know; but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.] Editorial insert of CRT We need to insert the original end. Vala-09 The Great among these spirits the Elves name the Valar, the Powers of Arda, and Men have often called them gods. The Lords of the Valar {were} /*QS77 are*\ seven; and the Valier, the Queens of the Valar, {were} /*QS77 are*\ seven also. … Manwë and Melkor were brethren in the thought of Ilúvatar. The mightiest of those Ainur who came into the World was in his beginning Melkor; but Manwë is dearest to Ilúvatar and {understood} /*QS77 understands*\ most clearly his purposes. … Out of the deeps of Eä she came to the aid of Manwë; for Melkor she knew from before the making of the Music and rejected him, and he {hates} /*QS77 hated*\ her, and {feares} /*QS77 feared*\ her more Nonetheless Ulmo {loved} /*QS77 loves*\ both Elves and Men, and never abandoned them, not even when they lay under the wrath of the Valar. … The Fëanturi, masters of spirits, {were} /*QS77 are*\ brethren, and they are called most often Mandos and Lóriën. Yet these are rightly the names of the places of their dwelling, and their true names are Námo and Irmo. … Chief among the Maiar of Valinor whose names are remembered in the histories of the Elder Days {were} /*QS77 are*\ Ilmarë, the handmaid of Varda, and Eönwë, the banner-bearer and herald of Manwë. Some Problem of Tense. We follow CRT opinion. Vala-10 Mightier than Estë is Niënna, {sister of Námo} /*QS77 sister of the Fëanturi*\; Here i don't know, if we need to follow CRT or not. I just added the ** to make it an 'official' project thread and rearranged the title of the thread. - lindil [ March 25, 2003: Message edited by: lindil ] [ April 06, 2003: Message edited by: antoine2 ] |
