: As for Aulë.. nothing against him.. he perty cool sometimes.. but when u look at Saurman and Sauron more inportantly.. and the Dwarves.. with there stupid lust after gold... he does look rather stupid don't u think.. : Beren Valthôl The interesting thing is that many of Aule's students ended up falling prey to pride. In addition to Sauron and Saruman, the Noldor had some rather severe problems related to hubris. I think that the passage where Aule offers up the fathers of the Dwarves to Iluvatar to do as he wished is one of the most significant occurences of the entire mythology. How might the fortunes of the Noldor have been different if they had learned that lesson?
