Quick note for Hearthstone players: Nemsy Necrofizzle, the warlock hero who is generally only available through fireside gatherings only, is now available for free in a time when the gatherings are unadvised because of corona.
But only from may 12 to 19, so if you want the hero, get to the ingame shop right away!
Feel free to drop it on the news as well.
(cute gnomess!)

Aulë has might little less than Ulmo. His lordship is over all the substances of which Arda is made.
In the beginning he wrought much in fellowship with Manwë and Ulmo; and the fashioning of all lands was his labor.
He is a smith and master of all crafts, and he delights in works of skill, however small, as much as in the mighty building of old.
His are the gems that lie deep in the Earth and the gold that is fair in the hand, no less than the walls of the mountains and the basins of the sea.
The Noldor learned most of him, and he was ever their friend.
Melkor was jealous of him, for Aulë was most like himself in thought and in powers, and there was long strife between them, in which Melkor ever marred or undid the works of Aulë, and Aulë grew weary in repairing the tumults and disorders of Melkor.

Both also desired to make things of their own that should be new and unthought of by others, and delighted in the praise of their skill.
But Aulë remained faithful to Eru and submitted all that he did to his will; and he did not envy the works of others, but sought and gave counsel.
Whereas Melkor spent his spirit in envy and hate, until at last he could make nothing save in mockery of the thoughts of others, and all their works he destroyed if he could.
