[July 13, 2025

[12:55 AM]Eönwë Valar: Well, Old Man Auros just got the Infinite Timereaver mount. Not that he had to do anything, just be running a timewalking dungeon.

[3:43 PM]Varda: Yay for mounts!

[3:52 PM]Varda: 9 minutes

[3:52 PM]Sandalf13: 8 minutes

Membership News

[4:01 PM]Varda: Membership:

[4:01 PM]Varda: Good to see Sandalf already here. Yay!

[4:01 PM]Sandalf13: Right back at you.

[4:02 PM]Varda: Any membership news to pass along?

[4:03 PM]Varda: Then on to Web news.

[4:03 PM]Sandalf13: Nothing special on my end...just more of the summer same...water the plants, work, weed, mow, run, you know the routine...

Web News

[4:03 PM]Varda: No new content in the Tolkien Site, although the transcripts are caught up on the News and Eonwe is keeping up with the Game Site news.

[4:04 PM]Varda: Everyone's routine is different, so it's kind of amazing to find others are interested.

[4:04 PM]Varda: Not everyone has a yard of any kind beyond indoor potplants, for instance. So that's cool.

[4:04 PM]Varda: You also do a ton of travel!

[4:04 PM]Varda: Anyway, on to

[4:05 PM]Varda: pardon, youre trying to type. Go ahead.

[4:06 PM]Sandalf13: My bad...it was a direct message to you.

[4:06 PM]Varda: Nutty Discord. Would be nice if it just showed typing in the current channel!

[4:06 PM]Varda: And thank you. : )

[4:06 PM]Eönwë Valar: Heya. Sort of here.

[4:06 PM]Sandalf13: Aiya Eonwe!

[4:07 PM]Varda: Aiya Eonwe!

[4:08 PM]Varda: Anarion! Saw some typing there. Come on in and say hi. : )

[4:08 PM]Anarion: Haha

[4:08 PM]Anarion: Aiya!

[4:08 PM]Varda: Yay!

[4:08 PM]Varda: Welcome : )

[4:08 PM]Varda: We are moving to

Gaming News

[4:08 PM]Varda: Gaming!

[4:08 PM]Varda: Anarion, any games or membership news you'd like to pass along? What's your pet game right now?

[4:08 PM]Sandalf13: Aiya Anarion!

[4:09 PM]Anarion: Oh, I'm doing some pretty eclectic stuff as usual. Right now my big time sinks are Elden Ring Nightreign (3-player co-op), and Against the Storm (city-builder challenge roguelite).

[4:10 PM]Anarion: Additionally ZeroSpace (RTS) is doing open beta stuff this week

[4:10 PM]Varda: Oh cool. And that's good general gaming news too! Others may like to see about that beta.

[4:12 PM]Anarion: Yeah, I'm not sure how into RTSes our group would be, but at least when released I suspect ZeroSpace would be a good game to get into. The beta not as much. It's good, but presently the campaign is not available and co-op missions need a bit of work still (and also can't be played until the 17th).

[4:12 PM]Anarion: And early on in an RTSes life the community can be a bit hardcore

[4:12 PM]Anarion: I don't think I've played anything remotely warcrafty in years at this point

[4:13 PM]Anarion: Perhaps Valheim

[4:13 PM]Anarion: Anyways, that's that for me

[4:13 PM]Varda: Feel free to hop into LotRO. ; )

[4:13 PM]Varda: Thank you! Good to hear new news. : )

[4:14 PM]Varda: Eonwe is semi-here. I'll pass along his general news gaming info for him.

[4:15 PM]Varda: Aiya Fangorn : )

[4:15 PM]Cenedra: Not yet, I am still trying to persuade him.

[4:16 PM]Varda: hehehehe

[4:16 PM]Varda: Offer pie?

[4:16 PM]Treebeard: pie is good

[4:16 PM]Cenedra: Heya, Treebeard.

[4:16 PM]Varda: Guess he'll have to send those light hides to Fainan for processing. : )

[4:16 PM]Varda: Or Fangbark.

[4:16 PM]Varda: It will be handled!

[4:17 PM]Treebeard: done

[4:17 PM]Varda: hah, ok. 4:17 PM]Varda: On to more WoW. Someone might be interested. Arien, get in here. I see you in WoW right now. ; )

[4:31 PM]Anarion: I am very wrong about RTS it appears

[4:31 PM]Varda: oops. What is the correction?

[4:31 PM]Anarion: It's just that we play them, I should really join in for starcraft co-op once in a while

[4:32 PM]Varda: Cool : )

[4:35 PM]Cenedra: Varda and Treebeard will play SC2 with me in the evenings she means.

[4:35 PM]Varda: ahh, feel free to let the gang know when you'd like to game.

Tolkien

[4:36 PM]Varda: Anyway, I have two Tolkien topics, so if anyone has a Tolkien question, Tolkien Moment (quote is what that means), or other Tolkien subject, type fast!

[4:36 PM]Varda: An x placeholder like gaming instances works, even. : )

[4:37 PM]Arien Valar: woops didn't notice the time while resetting the talets of my classic army

[4:37 PM]Varda: The sun came out! ☼

[4:37 PM]Varda: Aiya Arien : )

[4:37 PM]Arien Valar: aiya all :)#

[4:37 PM]Sandalf13: Aiya Arien! Is there any other kind of army?

[4:38 PM]Varda: O yes. : )

[4:38 PM]Varda: Perfect timing. Coming in for Tolkien.

[4:38 PM]Treebeard: Hi ya

[4:38 PM]Arien Valar: oh aye thinking of the zergs and whatever else they are called ^^ or of the ants or errr Protos

[4:39 PM]Arien Valar: hey fangorn

[4:39 PM]Varda: First topic:

[4:39 PM]Varda: It seems to me that none of the Maiar that we see "killed" is in a "normal" state. Is that true, and if so, what is the abnormality of each?

[4:40 PM]Varda: A list in order of their demise: the Balrog, Gandalf, Sauron, and Saruman.

[4:40 PM]Sandalf13: How do you define "normal"?

[4:40 PM]Varda: Normal state of a Maia.

[4:40 PM]Varda: The Balrog has been compromised in its power by becoming a servant of Morgoth, but is mostly similar to what it was.

[4:40 PM]Sandalf13: Which is a being with basically no material form.

[4:40 PM]Varda: Aye!

[4:41 PM]Varda: They should be able to put on a material form the way humans put on clothing.

[4:42 PM]Varda: It's ok to take these on one at a time, o wall of text friends. : )

[4:43 PM]Sandalf13: Then most of the Maia that we encounter in the LoTR and Silmarillion by necessity must be in a form visible to Elves and the Second Born...so those that are involved in the affairs of Middle-earth are indeed in some physical and recognizable form...therefore, when they "die," they are in an "abnormal" state for the Maia.

[4:45 PM]Sandalf13: QED

[4:45 PM]Varda: Any Istar, such as Gandalf or Saruman, is strongly compromised by being an Istar, confined in the body of an old advisor Man with part of his memory and power restricted from reach.

[4:46 PM]Treebeard: Saruman was accompanied by a great wind that seemed to disperse him, not translate him to Valanor. Gandalf was reconfigured as Gandalf the White without the lack of knowlege or restrictions that Gandalf the Grey had. Sauron lost much of his self which had been crafted into the ring, but I don't know what state he was left in as if we could see such a thing. The Balrog was ended by Gandalf the Grey.

[4:48 PM]Anarion: Sauron is a strange case, in that he seems to be largely self-serving, but still took a form in which he could die.

[4:48 PM]Anarion: If I understand correctly, he tried to get around this with the ring, but I'm not really sure of all of the lore involved there.

[4:49 PM]Sandalf13: It seems that in adopting a physical form that is manifest to the inhabitants of Middle-earth (and that includes ALL the inhabitants of Middle-earth) the Maia had to give up some of the powers they possessed in the "normal," ethereal form.

[4:49 PM]Varda: Not all. Just special cases. For instance, being married.

[4:50 PM]Varda: (Melian)

[4:50 PM]Sandalf13: I suppose that Melian did keep many of her Maia powers...but we cannot be sure about that.

[4:50 PM]Varda: She did keep powers. She made the shielding "Girdle of Melian" around their kingdom.

[4:51 PM]Sandalf13: That is what I was thinking of...but perhaps in here ethereal form in Valinor she had even more powers than she evinced in Middle-earth.

[4:51 PM]Varda: Likely true

[4:52 PM]Anarion: So my understanding of this conversation is that Sauron (and other Maia followers of Melkor) believed so strongly in opposing Illuvatar's plan that they knowingly made themselves more vulnerable for the sake of that belief.

[4:52 PM]Varda: They used their abilities in ways that compromised them.

[4:53 PM]Varda: They would give part of their power to followers to get them to follow, for instance. Or put part in something solid, such as a Ring, or

[4:53 PM]Varda: Morgoth's Ring was the planet itself.

[4:53 PM]Varda: These were things they did to gain power over others, to gain followers.

[4:53 PM]Varda: They could have just sung, like Finrod, but no. : )

[4:54 PM]Sandalf13: Love is limitless, but hate is finite.

[4:54 PM]Varda: Topic 2 comes from the above:

[4:54 PM]Varda: Does there seem to be a similarity between the end of Saruman and the end of Sauron, each one a Maia? (No one saw Gandalf's demise, which might be why there is no mention of this same sort of ending in the narrative, nor even for the Balrog.)

[4:55 PM]Varda: Gandalf only told bare bones narratives on the subject.

[4:55 PM]Sandalf13: i

[4:56 PM]Anarion: In the movie they both fall down from their respective towers, but that is a movie thing.

[4:56 PM]Varda: heh

[4:56 PM]Varda: TT, "The White Rider"

[Quote:

["I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin.

[Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell."

[4:56 PM]Varda: How is that for keeping it to bare detail. : )

[4:56 PM]Sandalf13: I believe that the end of Saruman, even if deserved, was one of the saddest "ends" depicted in the LoTR. If I remember correctly, his spirit first looked to the west, as if he would be received there, but a cold west wind blew him away.

[4:56 PM]Varda: Interesting thought on the movies. Tower falls!

[4:57 PM]Treebeard: Ah, bare generality.

[4:57 PM]Varda: : )

[4:57 PM]Varda: JRRT gave Sauron's demise, then later Saruman's. But they had similarities.

[4:58 PM]Sandalf13: Sort of like the wind out of the west that began to clear the skies over Mordor after the destruction of the Ring...so there is a little similarity, there.

[4:58 PM]Varda: Sauron died at the end of the War, and Saruman died later in the Scouring of the Shire, in the books.

[4:58 PM]Varda: True!

[4:58 PM]Sandalf13: And Manwe can direct the wind, at his pleasure...

[4:59 PM]Varda: Aye, for he is the Breath of Arda.

[5:02 PM]Varda: (trying to hush so you typists can finish!)

[5:02 PM]Anarion: It's just that right now I can mostly only think about the contrasts. Saruman is twisted by deceit, fear, and resignation. Sauron being his deceiver.

[Both meet their end on account of attempting to control and dominate. Saruman particularly of his attempt to conquer by using Fangorn forest. Destroying Wormtoungue by maniuplation and Rohan by armies, he finds himself destroyed by manipulation and combat. Sauron through his attempted to conquer middle earth, and particularly through his use of the rings to destroy others finds himself destroyed by his rings.

[5:02 PM]Sandalf13: This discussion leads to a deeper question: The Maia and the Valar cannot "undo" other Maia and Valar...they are all creations of Eru. So where did the spirts of Sauron and Saruman go after they were (literally) blown away? Unlike Morgoth, who was bodily evicted from Arda and is still in his own form, somewhere in the Void, they did "die." I wonder if they returned directly to Eru for judgement and/or reconditioning?

[5:03 PM]Varda: Gibbering spirit of malice still on Arda, is what I found. But I don't have the quote in front of me.

[5:04 PM]Varda: Contrast tangents also good!

[5:04 PM]Varda: Nice job, both of you.

[5:05 PM]Varda: Since we're hitting the hour, I'm going to put in the quotes of the death of each, then we can chat more in After-meeting if desired. : )

[5:05 PM]Varda: and you too!

[5:05 PM]Treebeard: Off to SC2 to play more. Nice meeting. Fun to see you all. Bye for now.

[5:05 PM]Varda: Namarie for now, Fangorn. : )

[5:06 PM]Sandalf13: Namarie Fangorn!

[5:06 PM]Cenedra: Namarie!

[5:06 PM]Varda: Namarie, Eowyn. : )

[5:06 PM]Anarion: Namarie

[5:06 PM]Anarion: I'll stick around

[5:06 PM]Cenedra: Anarion, I will play SC2 with you sometime. I pop into the Harbor voice channel here when I am online.

[5:06 PM]Sandalf13: Namarie, Cenedra!

[5:06 PM]Sandalf13: I am good for a little while longer, but must head out for a few things...will check in later, just in Case Ar shows up.

[5:07 PM]Varda: Ar-Pharazon has been showing up in the wee hours, lately. Joys of scheduling.

[5:07 PM]Sandalf13: Ah.

[5:08 PM]Varda: Sauron:

[5:08 PM]Varda: This is just after the ruin of Mordor

[5:08 PM]Varda: RotK, "The Field of Cormallen".

[5:08 PM]Varda: Quote:

[And as the Captains gazed south to the Land of Mordor, it seemed to them that, black against the pall of cloud, there rose a huge shape of shadow, impenetrable, lightning-crowned, filling all the sky.

[Enormous it reared above the world, and stretched out towards them a vast threatening hand, terrible but impotent; for even as it leaned over them, a great wind took it, and it was all blown away, and passed; and then a hush fell.

[5:09 PM]Varda: End Quote. 5:09 PM]Varda: Saruman:

[5:09 PM]Varda: RotK, "The Scouring of the Shire".

[5:10 PM]Arien Valar: its just a setback ..

[To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill.

[For a moment it wavered, looking to the West; but out of the West came a cold wind, and it bent away, and with a sigh dissolved into nothing.

[5:10 PM]Varda: End quote.

[5:10 PM]Varda: 'tis just a scratch, according to the Dark Knight. : )

[5:11 PM]Sandalf13: Nothing. How horrible. Maybe "nothing" on Middle-earth, but I suspect that Saruman had to give an accounting of himself before Eru...

[5:11 PM]Anarion: The wind comes out of the west, so not blown towards Valinor

[5:11 PM]Anarion: But I would tend to suspect the same

[5:11 PM]Varda: Aye. A request to go to Valinor, denied.

[5:11 PM]Varda: But the mention is present that it becomes only a gibbering spirit of malice capable of very little, staying on Arda.

[5:12 PM]Sandalf13: Hey Saruman baby...you screwed up of your own choosing, so no Valinor for you...you've got to answer to The Boss.

[5:12 PM]Varda: Arda will end, eventually. And a new Arda formed aright.

[5:12 PM]Varda: heh, aye.

[5:12 PM]Varda: Kind of like Houseless Ones.

[5:13 PM]Sandalf13: At the second singing of the Ainu, at which ALL the children of Iluvatar will take part...what a glorious concept.

[5:13 PM]Sandalf13: Very Catholic, as well, I think.

[5:13 PM]Varda: And many other groups, but yes. : )

[5:13 PM]Varda: gavels sing on the way to the also singing hammerpad

[5:13 PM]Varda: together they sing: kthonk, kthonk!

After-Meeting

[5:13 PM]Varda: After-meeting!

[5:14 PM]Sandalf13: Sounds like a geologic hammer beating on migmatite.

[5:14 PM]Varda: There you go! Now you all know the sound of geologic song.

[5:14 PM]Arien Valar: i ll sing of the glory of soft pillows and fluffy duvets under a rousing chorus

[5:14 PM]Varda: Huzzah!

[5:15 PM]Varda: May the sun set softly.

[5:15 PM]Anarion: I feel like soft pillows contrast somewhat with a rousing chorus ;)

[5:15 PM]Varda: Worn out? : )

[5:15 PM]Anarion: A bit, heh

[5:15 PM]Sandalf13: Maybe Arien meant the rousing chorus when it is time to wake up from the soft pillows and fluffy duvets.

[5:16 PM]Arien Valar: of course .. looking ahead kind off

[5:17 PM]Anarion: Fair, I just tend to be more gradual about waking. But that is of course, completely tangential to the looking ahead

[5:17 PM]Varda: : )

[5:18 PM]Sandalf13: Namarie all! (for now)....I must attend to some gardening/shopping/dinner business.

[5:18 PM]Arien Valar: Namarie all

[5:18 PM]Sandalf13:

[5:18 PM]Anarion: Namarie!

[5:19 PM]Varda: Namarie : )

[7:51 PM]Xavier: Cheers everyone

[9:02 PM]Sandalf13: Anyone home?

[July 14, 2025

[12:26 AM]Eönwë Valar: I am, now.

[1:48 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Aiya! Reading up.

[1:48 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: WoW short story is also available as a pdf, with pictures, for those interested.

[1:53 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Surely the balrog had a physical component too when fighting Gandalf...

[1:56 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And I also remember it being said of Sauron somewhere that he remained as an impotent spirit.

[2:50 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Personal gaming report:

[2:51 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: For (non)flashgaming, I think I've linked nearly every game with a badge this week quite recently, but there's one left that's fun enough!

[2:53 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Kongregate - "Tauriel Teaches Typing" is a silly little game wherein you "learn" typing with weird spaces, and projectiles to dodge as you do so. Along the way there's a bit of a story with you, your canine brother and a pretty bad teacher. There's a few odd secrets as well if you explore enough!

[2:53 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Don't expect to learn much from it, but it's nice if you've got a few minutes and nothing to do

[2:58 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Blizzard gaming

[3:00 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Hearthstone:

[Level 30 on the new reward track, good start. Got a legendary and a card back out of the track, several other cards, and enough gold to buy a new skin.

[3:01 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: I went for Patches the Pirate skin, originally battleground, for rogue. Also comes with a new card back.

[3:01 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And got the card back for July as well, so that's 3 card backs!

[3:02 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: As expected, there's a new quest event for the launch of the expansion. It involves playing a lot of cards, but those of certain types or from the new expansion count for more than one.

[3:02 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Same goes for the daily quests for the event, which are only 75 xp rather than 100, but that's okay, because they take so long that you generally get the missing xp from the matches you play to get them

[3:03 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: In any case, I thought it would be helfpul to open a few packs for this new expansion just so they'd help with the quests. And got a new legendary out of that, as well. Torga, for those who remember the loa from WoW!

[3:05 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Brawl is, as usual, the new deck recipes from this expansion. Most of them seem pretty fun, though I've won most matches with the death knight. Seems well matched against a few other classes' deck recipes.

[3:05 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Darkmoon Faire is now up, but as expected, didn't get the pet, just some signature cards. Getting the pet on your first draw is next to impossible anyway, so I'll never expect any.

[3:06 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: It's really more a completion reward for those who buy the entire board.

[3:06 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Warcraft Rumble:

[No new collection level, and only one mini level, for Thrall, who's now caught up with the rest.

[3:07 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: I'm continuing to collect gold from dungeons and valor from raids and sieges, which is going pretty well so far, a few more leaders gotten their diamond slots.

[3:07 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And the login event is still useful as well.

[3:08 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Used a few rare-ifiers as well, getting some minis up to 20 stars out of 25 for epic, but no real progress otherwise. Just buying stars and collecting more xp!

[3:08 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: WoW:

[3:10 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Another full clear of heroic Undermine, another person gotten their Gallywix kill. Things are clearly winding down. Also got max renown with the Gallagio faction through there, and bought their 3 mounts: Thunderdrum Misfire, Darkfuse Chompactor, and Flarendo the Furious.

[3:11 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Completed the last weekly quest for Dastardly Duos, and managed to survive long enough to face and defeat all 10 different bosses, so that's one achievement more out of it. The score related and other gimmicky ones... eh, not gonna happen, but that's fine.

[3:13 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Continuing the delves, with only 3 left to complete as a healer. Also did a few overcharged delves, and got the final ilevel upgrade for the belt. I still need to unlock one ability for it, and need to collect a bunch of titan pieces for the remaining console powers, but for the most part I should just be able to power through that with tankspec and dps-Brann.

[3:13 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And I think I have enough undercoins for all the new cosmetics from the vendor, will have to poke him at some point this week.

[3:15 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: For the treasure goblin event, I'm still going strong! Got 75% of all the blood shards needed for the 13 transmog sets, and also looted the Blood-Wrapped Treasure Bag, the final cosmetic that remained to be looted directly from the goblins.

[3:15 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Still no luck with the mount collection buff event, though. Maybe next week!

[3:16 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And I completed the trading post for this month through all those activities.

[3:17 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: The collection track gave me 3 new forsaken items, including 2 mogs and the Forsaken's Grotesque Charger mount. And I bought 2 unique cloak appearances and the new tabard as well.

[3:17 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: And that'll be my report for the week!

[3:17 AM]Ar-Pharazon-V: Namarie
