Hello, I'm new here and over excited about finding this forum. I absolutely love The Silmarillion. Ok, here are my replies:

Valar: Yavanna
Maiar: Melian
Elves: Too many to name, but my utmost favorite would have to be Gil-Galad. I'm also partial to Finrod and Turgon.
Dwarves: I'm not a big fan of the dwarves in any of the books so I'll just leave this one blank!
Men: Tuor

Welcome to Entmoot, Belwen!

I hope you enjoy it here.

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 04:02 AM

Valar: Námo. He fascinates me, especially his part in the ancillary texts such as Laws and Customs among the Eldar. I think he's certainly one of the most powerful of the Valar, and while harsh, he is very fair.

Maiar: Olórin. Come on, how can you not love the guy?

Elves: Fëanor. My favorite character in Tolkien, period. The perfect flawed epic hero - passionate, talented, great beyond his power to understand, yet fatally flawed by his pride and inability to control his impulsiveness.

Men: Blech, don't like men much. I guess if I have to choose one it would be Andreth, but she's not in the Silm, so *thinks*...er, I'll pass on this one.

Dwarves: Whichever one it was who administered the fatal blow to Thingol...

Perhaps a little off topic but I really dig Huan. One of a kind, he was. I'm still not sure if he was literally a hound or something more (maia). I guess he had to have been to have spoke as he did. Perhaps he was originally literally a hound but then Orome gave him something extra as a special gift.

Ben Van Winkle · 09-03-2012, 06:06 PM

Fingolfin went to Morgoth's front door and basically said "Right big lad, me and you, out here now".....ballsy or what........
Didnt end well for him if truth be told, pretty much sugar ray leonard dancing around mike tyson for 11 rounds looking good, to then be knocked out himself in the twelth, but you have to admire his courage, i mean, it was Morgoth, dark lord of all, Saurons boss......So for me Fingolfin was the Alpha Elf lol

Ben Van Winkle · 09-03-2012, 06:13 PM

Turin was my favourite human, and all time favourite middle earth character, dragon slayer.......Lets just say he got around lol........not the same man after Nienor let him in the back door, but what a remarkable warrior, man, and an inspiration to us all that courage is one of our most diminished characteristics these days.......RIP my friend.

Ben Van Winkle · 09-03-2012, 06:16 PM

ISTARI - Gandalf, im not going to go for someome more remote like Radagast or mr panda just to look knowledgeable....Gandalf is the breathing heart, certainly in the third age, and we all owe him our thanks lol

Vala: I like Orome for cheerfully riding around ME hunting evil things, but I will have to go with Ulmo, who insists on getting it right even against conventional wisdom of all the other Valar.

Maia: Olorin, steadfast dedication to a mission he feared, and one of the few deeply in touch with the incarnates.

Un-categorized: Huan, who ever would not want him as a sidekick?

Elf: Fingolfin, loyalty even over grievous insult by Feanor, remarkable skill in leading the factioned Noldor assimilated other races, the Sindar and the Edain, fortitude, and one of the finest exemplar of combined, courage, chivalry and warrior prowess in literature, striking a GOD of evil, supposedly (but maybe not by that stage of Morgoth’s deterioration) the most powerful being in the world, 8 times in personal combat.

Human: Hurin the Steadfast, leads his people nobly and skillfully, the avatar not of the great warriors of the Third House of the Edain but most especially of the steadfast fortitude of the First House. “…the folk of Beor were more steadfast in endurance of hardship and sorrow, slow to tears or laughter; their fortitude needed no hope to sustain it.” Seventy times “Aure enteluva!” Eye to eye with a God who could subvert the will of men, elves, demigods, and even confound the will of other Valar with his gaze, and he was unbowed.

Dwarves: All you really have for a ‘good’ dwarf in SIL is Azaghal, who does not take crap from dragons.
