: Saruman (Curumo), Sauron, the Noldor, the Dwarves, the Balrogs : (Valaraucar).: This is a list of Maiar and followers of Aulė that in one way : or the other disobeid and/or fought the Valar. : For me it is much of a coincidence that Aulė and companion :"like" to rebel. The Noldor and the exile and Feanor“s oath, : Sauron needs no explanation, Saruman turned to darkness too, : the Dwarves... well, the Balrogs or some of them were possibly : maiar of Aulė (the Demons of Fire/earth, the element of Aulė), : and Aulė himself crating the dwarves. : should that be called Aulė“s Darkness Disease, or is it just : a coincidence? I can't explain why, but I've always associated Morgoth with fire. He is never said to have a particular affinity for it like Arien and the Balrogs, but he certainy used it a great deal. I don't see how the Dwarves figure into the list, unless you're thinking of their quarrel with Thingol.
