| | But given Tolkien’s religious tendencies and the fact that he portrayed a God figure, I think it’s safe to speculate that he intended us to form a link between some of the more mystical interventions and Eru. | | | Dear Green Books Staff, my question is "Suppose I had the Ring." If I claimed it and challenged Sauron for possession of it; and cast him down and destroyed him, would the Ring now answer to me, or would it remain without a master or would it be masterless without the one who made it. | | | I feel that the Wainriders were critical in destabilizing the power of the Line of Kings; and their military actions set forth a sequence of events that unfortunately collapsed the Line of Anárion, leaving Gondor without a King. |
