User blog:Sinthorion/If I were a Valar, I would be...

Íniasuir, the eternal chronist.

My realm in Valinor is a large library with every knowledge that ever was researched in the world. You can find there the whole history of Arda and even knowledge about the dark arts of Morgoth. Around this library, there are gardens and many minor halls full of paintings, statues and other art. The art displays many events that happened in Arda. Some groups of statues are even frozen while fighting whole battles.

There is one other hall, the smallest hall of all, but it contains the greatest treasure: A Palantír that is used to gather much knowledge. The Palantír is too far away than Sauron's power reached, so Sauron can't control what the user sees.

But my favorite place is Orthîr, a large pillar that is high enough to see above the Pelóri mountains to every place in Aman or Middle Earth except for the deepest mines or dungeons. Most time I sit there and looks what happens in the world. I can see, how the races of Middle Earth fight and die, how they celebrate their victories and build great cities.

In the past, I saw how the Quendi awakened and how Morgoth and Ungoliant sneaked up to steal the Silmarils and many other things. But I didn't warn the other Valar because this all was part of Ilúvatar's plans. Morgoth (and we all) spawned from Ilúvatar's thougths. Everything that happens and ever happened is in his sense.

Feel free to write a blog, which Valar you would be :-)
