alasse_mirimielSomething that really caught my attention is how little the Valar seem to involve themselves when it comes to Men. The only Power they were exposed to at the beginning was Morgoth, and while that was true of the Elves, at least the Valar did something about it when they found out. When Men appeared? No help would come from them until someone pleaded for the First and Second born... That’s incredibly unfair. The exiled Noldor screwed up, and then both Men and the Elves who never went to Valinor had to pay too?
Maybe the Valar were afraid of screwing up like they did with the Noldor. Maybe being around Men would be too much for Men’s bodies, like being in Valinor would be too much for them. Maybe they just decided to stay back because they don’t understand Men at all. In any case, it’s unfair suggest falling victim to Morgoth’s influence is Men’s fault, when the Valar stayed back and let that happen.
