The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Of course, none of this is confirmed, and the work and plan of The Lord of the Rings' Eru Ilúvatar remains one of Tolkien's greatest mysteries.The Wizard, Gandalf, convinces Bilbo Baggins to join a quest with a group of dwarves.Īmazon Prime, Max, Vudu, Google Play, YouTube, iTunes, Redboxīilbo and the dwarves arrive at the Lonely Mountain and face the deadly dragon Smaug. Then, Gollum's fall into the fires of Mount Doom at the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is often thought to be Ilúvatar's work as well since no being of Middle-earth could have successfully thrown it in willingly. Gandalf seemed to understand from the beginning that Hobbits would be necessary to Sauron's downfall, so it is believed that Ilúvatar ensured that the One Ring fell into Bilbo's hands. Ilúvatar is also credited with other divine interventions in The Lord of the Rings. When the wizard returned to Middle-earth, he said that he had been " sent back," though he doesn't say by whom, it can be assumed that it was Eru himself. This is where Gandalf passed to after he was killed by the Balrog, Durin's Bane. He lives (for lack of a better word) in the Timeless Halls, which is sometimes considered the heaven of Middle-earth. This god is considered omniscient and omnipotent and was, therefore, an invisible presence throughout all of Tolkien's stories. The Balrogs were crafted from Maiar, dragons are thought to come from the Great Eagles, and so on.Įru Ilúvatar is never directly referred to in The Lord of the Rings, but that isn't to say he wasn't around. He captured some of the newly awoken Elves and twisted them to become Orcs, and they began to breed and multiply independently. ![]() So, he did the next best thing-he took the life Ilúvatar had already created and corrupted it to be something of his own. He greatly desired the power to create life and felt this opportunity was being selfishly robbed of him. This begs the question-where did Orcs, Balrogs, dragons, and other evil beings of Middle-earth come from? When Morgoth came to Middle-earth, he was enraged by his failure to obtain the Flame Imperishable. The diety created the first Valar, Maiar, Elves, and Men, and from there, they multiplied and evolved on their own (Hobbits are believed to have evolved from Men, and Dwarves were created by the Vala Aulë and given life by Ilúvatar). Still, this isn't to say that Ilúvatar individually crafted every living thing before it was born on Middle-earth. This means that all life in Eä finds its roots in its god. The Secret Flame exists in his very being, and no matter how much someone like Morgoth desired to steal it from him, it was not possible. Eru Ilúvatar is the only one capable of creating life. ![]()
