... that because Aulë was involved with the dwarves, couldn't one of the other Valar be involved with the breaking off of the hobbits from the humanity? And my, my candidate for that is Nienna.
Alan SistoHOST
16:53
Yeah.
Alan SistoHOST
16:54
Yeah, that's...

... branch of men, as opposed to the dwarves, which are an entirely independent creation.

But going back to that th- that line that I read earlier about the third theme, we get one more that talks about the theme being "deep and wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow from which its beauty chiefly came." That's where I get the Nienna connection.
Alan SistoHOST

That's where in my mind I hear Nienna's theme playing.
Corey OlsenHOST

Yes, I would like to connect the Ivrin motif with Syrian.
Corey OlsenHOST
91:33
But I think Nienna's theme has to be heavily involved in that moment, the moment of Turin's healing.
Corey OlsenHOST

Yeah, I would think Nienna's theme heavily.
Corey OlsenHOST
91:59
But again, it's the Pools of Vivron.
Corey OlsenHOST

And so connecting it with Syrian and even with Olmo.

What's more, these new creations arise by music and water.

It is Yavanna who sings a song of power, and Nienna, another female Vala, who sits in silence and sheds tears upon the mold to give it growth.
JohnHOST

Thus, these two important elements are shown to give new life where destruction had come, even in the earliest ages of Arda.
JohnHOST
3:21
From the very beginning of Arda's reality, the Music of the Ainur is recapitulated in the joint creativity of the Valar and the malicious work of Melkor.

Yavanna, the Fruit Giver, Plants, Earth.
TomHOST

Nienna, the Weeper, Lady of Mercy.
TomHOST

Este, Gentle, Lady of Healing and Rest.

Vere, the Weaver.
