The valar

Description From Tolkien's " Silmarillion": The Maiar are less powerful than the Valar, the gods of Middle Earth; some kind of angelic, elemental spirits. All of them serve their particular Valar. I didn't draw the later Blue Wizards or Balrogs, for I had no real picture of them in mind (yet). Btw: Even non-Silmarillion-readers will discover some people they know in the first and last row. Short and easy Who is Who: Eonwe: Manwe’s banner-bearer and herald, one of the chiefs of the Maiar…

Description I noticed it was - at least for me - quite funny to design the various Valar seperately and then see the finished character standing next to his or her spouse for the first time. That's why I made this alternative version of my The Valar picture; all couples are standing together. Attention matchmakers; singles are standing left at the beginning of each row! …

The Aratar, also known as the Eight, or the Holy Ones of Arda, were the greatest of the Valar. The Aratar were Manwë, Varda, Ulmo, Yavanna, Aulë, Mandos, Nienna, and Oromë. Melkor was removed from the order upon his rebellion. Although Tulkas was a Vala residing in Valinor, he was not counted among the Aratar.[1] The Aratar were also called the Máhani.[2] Aratar is a Quenya word that meant 'the Exalted'.[3]

the Valar

One of the most violent clashes between the Good and the Evil took place during the ancestral Years of the Trees. The Valar waged war against Melkor to safeguard the Elves that had by then awakened and to deprive the Dark Lord from his total dominion of Middle-earth.
