Really? I didn't remember that. Speaking of Finrod, do you know the stories of a SoA author named Fiondil? He wrote a great deal of stories about Finrod, Glorfindel and other First Age Elves, mostly taking part after the War of Wrath, and he's the one who've made the Valar the most personable for me - even if I don't always like the overtone and the morale of the strories. They mirror a lot of what I'm uncomfortable with in the Catholic Church... which isn't very surprising, as both the Professor and Fiondil are Catholic. So am I, but a somewhat renegade one, I guess.
