: If Orome is the son of Aule, then he should compare with the others (Orion, Gothmog, etc...), however he is described as being amongst the Vala and comparable to Tulkas. How does this match? Is his power equal to the others, but all into fighting, whereas the other sons of the Vala were wise (except Gothmog, who probably was very powerful at one time, but became spent like Morgoth)?Please reread my earlier post carefully. The concept of the Children of the Gods had completely disappeared by the time the Silmarillion was published. Orome was no longer the son of Aule nor was Gothmog the son of Melko and Ulbandi. This entire line of thougth was abandoned by Tolkien at a relatively early stage.
