: 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.
