I think Námo, or Mandos, for the unknowing, is my favourite vala......
Námo wins, just a little infront of Manwë, because:
1. Námo seems wise and powerfukl in his actions. 2. Námo is not evil, yet not good either.... 3. Námo is the doomsman of the valar, and the harbringer of fate ! 4. Námo has his spouse Vairë, who is supposed to be a good one. 5. Námo is alittle different from the others and try too keep alittle away from them, just look at where he's home is placed ! And why Manwë came close : Námo only take orders from Manwë, and wont do anything unordered, well, not much that is...... __________________________________________________ __ |

Vaire, Melkor and Orome/Araw. My favs.
.... Aule too, he rocks.

Námo certainly is good, impo. He is after all one of the pure Holy Ones. He is grim, certainly, and far more concerned with justice than mercy, but I would not say that he was neutral.

Totally Ulmo. He seems to be more connected to the lives of the elves. I'm reading around pg. 175 mark and they are still building towns in his honor.

I tend to lean towards Varda I mean the stars and elves love stars and Ulmo, because I suppose elves are in love with the sea also, and I am of course and elf !

Ok...
Yavanna - I feel kinda sorry for her after Ungoliant killed her trees... Melkor - He's not so bad! I mean, if someone tried to take over my world, I'd take it as a compliment. At least it's worthy of ruling! the Valar shoulda thought that way... Ulmo - just because he's cool. And I like rivers and things. Varda - Because stars are PRETTY! Lanelf.

Vana and Nessa, because they sound back... sound like a lot of fun, and probably can throw a party.
But... Orome... his bite is worse than his bark. And Ulmo for the same reasons, and because he never forsook the forsaken... ~ Connor |

Varda, because I have always loved stars. (Venus was really bright the other night, and I thought of Earendil in his ship.)
Also Manwë, because I like the part where Manwë grants Melkor pardon because he though that "the evil of Melkor was cured." I like how Tolkien describes Manwë - "For Manwë was free from evil, and could not comprehend it ... " Although he learned from hard experience later on that Melkor was NOT cured - "all love had departed from him for ever." And lots of others, but I have to go to work now... *sigh*

Ulmo was my favorite, because he did much to aid both Elves and men. Also, he learned more ofthe music of Iluvatar than his fellow Ainur.
A close second is Aule, who loved to create, but not possess.

Hello I'm Sparky.
I like Melkor best out of the Valar. I find him fascinating. You have to admit, he is a pretty interesting character.

Welcome to Entmoot Sparky.
Can't understand where all these Morgoth fans are coming from. |

I like: 1. Aule (e umlot) because he created the Dwarves, and how cool is that 2. Yavanna because I've always liked the white trees, and how they continued to the end of the third age and beyond. 3. Manwe because he got the ball rolling. |

I don't understand why you would like Melkor so much, though - are you just kind of being funny? He wanted to take over the world, but only for his own selfish and destructive motives. Welcome, new Entmooters!! Hope you enjoy it here. I'm almost at 100 posts!! Do I get a new title then?
