    Summary

    This is a translation of The Black Book of Arda (first edition, 1995), one of the most influential texts of the post-soviet Tolkien fandom. Written in the 90's, it's a retelling of The Silmarillion from Melkor's point of view. Almost. Not quite.

    Summary

    It is known that evil came into the world through the efforts of Morgoth. But why did his efforts always result in evil rather than good? Why did the other Valar turn their backs on one who was beautiful and placed high in the sight of Eru? Here is one possible reason.

    Summary

    The unchaining of Melkor, in the Noontide of Valinor.

    Melkor possessed power in each of the domains of the Ainur, but Nienna he held in especial contempt. Her gentle love for all Creation had only turned to her ultimate purpose of mourning and grief through the intercession of Melkor. She had entered the world to weep in Melkor's wake. That was her purpose.

    She might have been his spouse, had he not been her enemy. The two of them together made up the cause and effect of loss.
