"Nai Eru manyuva tanwenya ar tératuvas!"

― Aulë in Quenta Silmarillion, "Of Aulë and Yavanna"

I'm a fan from Spain, a proud member of the Spanish Tolkien Society, active in the Languages Commission. My English is still on work, so I appreciate any correction, specially with the long texts.

Among my favourite characters are Aulë, Varda, Finrod Felagund, Sador and Galadriel.

As a converted Catholic, I like to study about Tolkien's spirituality and theology. I also love Quenya and when I have time I "translate" the works of Riener Quentandil, but currently I'm working on too many projects. Tolkien taught me I should finish things, but I can't help beginning things when new ideas come.

Articles I feel proud of

• Dagor Dagorath
• All versions of the Ainulindalë
• Gondolin
• All articles of the Twelve Houses of the Gondothlim and their lords, specially Turgon and Glorfindel
• Christianity
• Index:Conflicts
• Orcs/Origin

Headcanons

• Tom Bombadil is an extraliterary character from the tales Tolkien told to his children. Tolkien refused to remove him from his revision of TLOR to remember us that we are reading a fairy-tale. That's why both readers and Middle-earth characters do not know where he comes from.
• Orcs were talking beasts without soul. Therefore they were good creatures in their beginning, as they were directly created by Ilúvatar, but later their wills were corrupted by Morgoth. Therefore they were inclined to evil forever, unless Eru himself came to free them. If so, they could have become proper Incarnates like the Ents, but they were exterminated before that happened or at least they could become civilized.
• The prophecy of Andreth is refered to the War of Wrath and was true: in his last conception, Tolkien intended that Túrin was temporarily brought back from Mandos, just like Beren. Then Túrin, still in Valinor, jumped into Vingilot, and travelled with his nephew Eärendil to Middle-earth. In the flying boat, Túrin slayed Ancalagon, accomplishing the decisive victory against Morgoth and thus having the last word in his family's curse. Then he was finally free and leaved the Circles of the World. I was never convinced that a boat could destroy the biggest dragon in the world, but if there is a dragonslayer in it, now that's epic.
• The Valar were informed about Eru's Incarnation, so the first Christmas feast in the world was hold in Valinor.
• We are living in the Sixth Age, which began with the Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The last and Seventh Age will begin when He returns and it will last forever.
• Everything is canon. The Global Theory is true.
• The Eldar had Baroque dances.
