Summary
Mairon cursed the damn jewels upon Melkor’s brow and their unrelenting light; he cursed the Valar for imprisoning his master and he cursed Ungoliant for maiming him. Melkor had returned to him from beyond the Sea like a husk of a god, a vessel filled with less holiness than hatred.
Since his return from Valinor, Melkor has been cold and distant, more ruthless than ever before. When Mairon makes a suggestion during a council meeting, Melkor sees treachery where none was intended and decides on a lasting way to make Mairon’s place clear: putting his name on Mairon’s body.
