: : Regarding Morgoth, I believe that he had become rather tapped out by the end of the First Age, having invested too much of his power in his creations. Perhaps someone who has read Morgoth's Ring could provide more information. But, I think the point is that he probably didn't have anything up his sleeve by the time of the War of Wrath (with the exception of the winged dragons). The creation of a new Troll breed fell to Sauron.: Of course he had nothing up his sleeve that was able to do anything to the valar, but a few minorities perhaps? The concept of 'organic machine' is plasable, and there are recent discoveries to back this. I wonder what kind of 'organic machines' morgoth may have created...
: Usually more races enrich a story. The many races is one of the reasons I love LOTR (and all the others).
: Maedhros What do you mean by 'organic machines', and what are the recent discoveries proving their viability? If you are talking about bio-mechanical chips and neural networks, I imagine these concepts would have been beyond the means of Melkor or Sauron.
