Why didn't Eru just kill Sauron?
it's explained in the books
>>206067208Because it was funny and Eru was bored.It's literally explained in the books.
>>206067208Eru is only the first of Valar to come into existence and so he was the first to get his hands on the flame imperishable. He’s not an actual omnipotent or omniscient deity so he’s not entirely sure about the limits of his power. Melkor was the second Valar and without the flame imperishable he had to use his own essence to create or more accurately corrupt. Melkor knew the truth though that Eru was only God by chance. Melkor convinced Sauron of this and the more they tested it, the more true it seemed to be. The one ring was the culmination of their efforts. It was proof Eru is not the God he claims. He couldn’t destroy the ring directly, so he panicked and setup a crew expendable operation to deliver the ring to Mount Doom. If Gollum hadn’t been there, Eru would have just tossed Frodo into the fire. In fact he’d have burned the whole Shire down just to see that ring destroyed. It was the equivalent of the Epstein list with his name on it. Inevitably the truth about Eru would be revealed that although he is somewhat benevolent as long as you obey him, he is not the one true God and so he couldn’t risk trying to destroy Sauron directly.
>>206067208It would've made for a boring story.Humans are a race literally built to be abused over and over again, so that one day, they may become the inheritors of the world, greater than any other species in the universe.
>>206067208he wanted to watch midgets defeat him because it's funny
>>206067208you just know this guy was bullied so hard by the other maia when he was banished to the spirit realm
>>206067208Because Sauron is part of the music and needs to play out his part.
>>206067208He did. Eru destroyed the One Ring by making Gollum slip and fall and then made a strong wind from the west that blew Sauron's impotent spirit into the east.
>AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH SAVE ME GOTHMOG AAAAAAAAAAAA-
After reading the Silmarillion Ulmo is the only Valar worth shit.
>>206072246Pretty much. His element was the least corrupted by Morgoth.
>>206072311Aren't there leviathan's in the deep that Ulmo would fight?
I know his death ends the Third Age and we are in the Seventh Age. What happened in Ages Four through Six?
>why didn't God just kill the jewsdoesn't work that way
>>206072394Not anymore, Aman was separated from Arda. But also, those Leviathans aren't Morgoth's creation. Evil creatures corrupted by him hate water because of it's purity.
>>206072500Huh, been a while since I read the Silmarillion but I took them to be slaves of Morgoth. Cheers.
>>206072619They might serve Morgoth but they weren't made/corrupted by him. It's widely believed they're creatures from the void beyond Eru's creation who followed Morgoth back when he was searching there for the Flame Imperishable, same as Ungoliant.
>>206067766>It was proof Eru is not the God he claimshow did it prove anything?>He couldn’t destroy the ring directlywhy?
>>206067766Did you get this information from "The Last Ringbearer" by any chance?
Melkor > Morgoth
