I AM IN AWE OF THE CALIBER OF ANALYSIS APPLIED TO YOUR QUESTION, RYAN. WHILE I HAVEN'T THE KNOWLEDGE TO SPECULATE ON THE PRECISE MYTHOLOGICAL OR RELIGIOUS ORIGINS OF BEORN'S CHARACTER, BASIC ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS OF "WHERE" AND "WHAT" ARE PROVIDED BY TOLKIEN HIMSELF IN A LETTER TO NAOMI MITCHISON: "BEORN IS DEAD [by the year Third Age 3018 (Shire-reckoning 1418)]; SEE VOL.I, P.241...THOUGH A SKIN-CHANGER AND NO DOUBT A BIT OF A MAGICIAN, BEORN WAS A MAN."

The White Council was the original Tolkien Forum for the Web. The Tolkien Forum on Xenite.Org hosted many discussions between some of the most renowned Tolkien scholars on the Internet. The White Council was renamed to the Tolkien and Inklings Forum after the White Council name was used by other fan sites. The Tolkien and Inklings Forum is now often referred to as the Tolkien Forum by other sites.
