Secondly, after I finish the UT I will move on to the other HoME books. I will probably skip around the first couple because I found the creation part a bit slow compared to the rest, but still amazing. What three HoME would you reccomend for me based what you think I would like? Please consider content and the three least confusing to get me going lol.

I was trying to remember if the fertile valar was an idea that Tolkien phased out with the earlier books or if it was an idea that he kept.

At first there were several examples such as Fionwe, who slowly disappeared. I just can't remember which point... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Finduilas) http://finduilasstolkiendiscussion.yuku.com/topic/744 Thu, 15 Jan 2004 18:13:24 GMT <![CDATA[ Elements that have stayed consistent from the beginning ]]> http://finduilasstolkiendiscussion.yuku.com/topic/747/t/Elements-that-have-stayed-consistent-from-the-beginning.html
For example, some of the elements of the story of Beren and Luthien.

The whole evil cats thing is so amusing anyway.

The Wild Men in the LOTR are most likely the descendants. I wonder if they have the same abilities.

Perhaps it's because I have an interest in Medieval history and the two involve it.

I wish Tolkien had finished one or both of the two.

This was an idea of Tolkien's at one point.

Would he have affected the ensuing events at all?

For example, what if Trotter remained a hobbit, as in the earlier drafts from the Return of the Shadow.

How might the story have been radically different, or not?
