What is the point of Minhiriath? I don't know of anything unique it has. No Orc would be able to find it, and no Gondorian would dare mine it. Therefore, I don't think it should have such features.

Because it's sacred, Squidy, it doesn't make sense that anyone would dare destroy the only place in Arda hallowed by Eru. Maybe it could be a config feature, but it should not usually be destroyable.

S'more, the White Tree (not Nimloth, which was burned) shouldn't grow fruit, as it would make them plantable, therefore farmable. They shouldn't be. As for the alignment, that woudl make it unfair to Good players. Perhaps the alignment, and also any evil player that steps on the island burns to a crisp?

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 15:30, March 23, 2017 (UTC) That does make sense.

I do agree that not everything needs a point. I love that Meneltarma is findable. It just doesn't make sense to me that it should have Mithril, yet not be able to be mined. The Mithril is a cool idea, but if no one is gonna be able to even see it, why is it there?

I currently have no problems with Meneltarma the way it is, but if you make it un-mineable, it would need a lot of changes.

I did not think about it being farmable. What if only that one tree grew fruit, and its offspring didn't?

Evil players burning up when they set foot on it makes a lot of sense. Illuvitar wouldn't want anything evil on it.
