- To Melkor among the Ainur had been given the greatest gifts of power and knowledge, and he had a share in all the gifts of his brethren

- His envy grew then the greater within him; and he also took visible form, but because of his mood and malice that burned in him that form was dark and terrible.

- Then Melkor lusted for the Silmarils, and the very memory of their radiance was a gnawing fire in his heart.

So even if Melkor couldn't have created his own Silmarils, he could have something at least as great and wonderful. But he didn't, which led to me ask: what *did* Melkor create?

Not included are things that he perverted/twisted, but what is truly his.
