Yeah, Ulmo! Personally, He's my favourite Vala, with Yavanna and Nienna closely following. I always felt that Ulmo was involved in the events of ME in a much more active way than the other Valar, and I love it when Tuor meets him.

Vala is the singular.
Valar is the plural.

The Valar made the world.
Ulmo is the Vala who precides over the sea...

And my favourite Vala is the Valië Nienna.

Tulkas has to be the coolest of the Valar.

There's a thread for favourite Valar, you know...

Here - http://entmoot.com/showthread.php?t=3036. It's quite old though. You can probably post a new thread, if you want.

Vala is only one.

Valar is more than one.

The Valar shaped the world with their music.

Ulmo was the most powerful Vala next to Manwe and ruled the seas and streams of Middle-earth.

Valie is fiminine, meaning only "one" of the queens of the Valar.

Isn't Valur also the singular for a male Vala?

Manwe doesn't seem to do much except sit up on the mountain and look at bad things happen... oh well maybe he does something cool in the last 150 pages.

Elemm*rë, I loved rereading it! And when I have the time, though I will wait a little while, I'll read it again... cause its my favourite book And me#, the 90 sec thing is really getting to you. I think you should see someone and talk it over.

Maaaaybe.........

I suppose, though, it sort of counts if we keep on talking about the Sil itself...
