List: The Gods (Valar) of Middle Earth

The following list briefly describes the list of Middle Earth Gods (Valar) in the world. More information will be given as requested or as there is displayed interest. As a key point, the Valar do not play active roles in the World of Middle Earth, due to the events of the First Age. There are plenty of Maiar (Demi-Gods) around in Middle Earth, but that will be for a separate post - Vicki knows much more about that!

Manwe: Master of the Air, King of the Valar.

Varda: Mistress of the Stars, Queen of the Valar.

Ulmo: Master of the Water and Seas.

Aule: Master of the Elemental/Non-Living Earth. Creator of Dwarves, the Second Born, and thus the God all Dwarves pray to.

Yavanna: Mistress of the Living Earth.

Namo: Master of Fate and Doom.

Nienna: Mistress of Conscience (Grief/Pity/Suffering)

Orome: Master of Nature and Hunting.

Vana: Mistress of Youth, Birth, Renewal, Flowers and Fire.

Tulkas: Champion of the Valar, Master of Courage

Nessa: Mistress of Joy.

Irmo: Master of Spirits, Dreams, and Love.

Este: Mistress of Renewal. Often the God that Jon's Clerics believe in.

Vaire: Mistress of Time, Memory and Stories. Mother of Okiro (Separate Post on him to come!)

Melkor/Morgoth: The God of all that is unholy and evil. His name is not to be trivially mentioned. Imprisoned in the bowels of the World at the end of the first age.

As a side-note, all the Valar were created by one great Creator God, Called Eru. None knows what happened to Eru though. It was Eru who created both the Elves (First Born) and Humans (Third Born).
