How did Melkor create trolls?
History. Melkor created trolls before the First Age. They were very strong, but turned into stone in sunlight. They turned to stone when exposed to sunlight, for stone, as told in The Hobbit, is what trolls were originally made of.
What did Melkor want?
Ilúvatar had given the Ainur permission to weave their own ideas into the Music, but Melkor’s thoughts actually clashed against Eru’s Themes, because Melkor wanted to “increase the power and glory of the part assigned to himself”.
Was Sauron a Valar?
Though subordinate to the Valar, the Maiar were powerful nonetheless, and included Melian, Sauron (named Mairon), Olórin (later named Gandalf) and the other Istari, and those who would become the Balrogs. (Among these were the other Valar and the Maiar.)
What did Melkor do to the other Valar?
Bitter, Melkor set himself against the other Valar. Whenever the Valar worked to better the world, Melkor disrupted their efforts. For a long while, Melkor fought alone against the might of all the other Valar and Maiar of Arda, and he long held the upper hand.
Why was Sauron reluctant to fight Melkor?
Angband was delved into the Iron Mountains, and was given to Sauron to command. While the Valar were unsure where the Children of Ilúvatar would awake, they were reluctant to wage war against Melkor, fearing the clash of powers might result in massive collateral damage the likes of which they had not seen since the Lamps were destroyed.
Why did Melkor build the great Lamps in Middle earth?
To give light to the world, they constructed two Great Lamps in Middle-earth and set their place of dwelling in the midst of them. During this time, Melkor re-entered Arda with the various Maiar spirits who had attuned themselves to his music, and delved a mighty fortress at the very north-most part of the World and named it Utumno.
What happened to Melkor after the Battle of Utumno?
Melkor was bound with Angainor and brought back to Valinor. There, he pleaded for pardon, but was cast into the Halls of Mandos for three Ages. However, in their haste to overthrow Melkor, the Valar left many of Utumno’s pits and vaults unexplored, and Sauron remained at large.
