The Destruction of the Great Lamps

The Silmarillion is Tolkien's writing on the creation and history of Middle Earth leading up to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

 The Valar are Ainur, servents of Iluvatar (there creator), and creators of Middle Earth through Iluvatar. Melkor was the greatest of all the Valar but fell into pride and became "The Enemy" and corrupted many Maiar to his dark will (for example Sauron and the Balrogs). The Maiar are lesser Ainur.

 I hope this helps you that have not read this book, to understand.

Remember this is not a final product, if LEGO makes it they will make their own version to suit their standards.

Special thanks to commandercody113 for whom I originally started making these "sets". He insisted I post them here and helped to write their descriptions.
