However, even though this is a game, we shouldn't take a steaming dump on the lore. There was most likely only one Balrog alive, therefore only one should remain, regardless of gameplay or mechanics. The mentalgymnastics behind Utumno's presence is a mystery to me, but I doubt it will be removed, so we should at least make it *moderately* canon.

PS: If this were the LotR Wiki, Utumno would be a massive power, there would be ten thousand Balrogs, and they would have fought Gondor. :P
