	Manwë - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien's universe, Middle-earth, Manwë Súlimo (from the Valarin Mânawenûz) is the King of the Valar, husband of Varda Elentári, brother of the Dark Lord Melkor (Morgoth), and King of Arda.
		Manwë is (after Melkor) the eldest of the Ainur, and the one that best understood the will of Eru.
		He released Melkor from Mandos, thus allowing him to cause the distrust of Fëanor, the Poisoning of the Two Trees, the murder of Finwë, the theft of the Silmarils, and the revolt of the Ñoldor.

		But all that they did was known to Manw"e, and the Valar were wroth with the Kings of N'umenor, and gave them counsel and protection no more; and the ships of Eress"ea came never again out of the sunset, and the havens of And'uni"e were forlorn.
		And some of the eagles bore lightning beneath their wings, and thunder echoed between sea and cloud.
		But the Temple itself was unshaken, and Sauron stood there upon the pinnacle and defied the lightning and was unharmed; and in that hour men called him a god and did all that he would.

		Just so you know, the mighty Eagles of the Elder Days were more than mere birds, they were gigantic, intelligent creatures.
		The Eagles are the special emissaries of Manw?, who rules the airs and winds of the World.
		What the historians of Middle Earth were not so quick to pick up on though is that I am a Lady not a Lord, and when I slip out of my sultry eagle dress and my feathery lingerie, I am a hot babe who gives even the elf hotties a run for their money.

		Melkor was the most powerful of the Ainur and early on sought for the Flame Imperishable throughout the Void so that he might create beings of his own to rule over as a lord.
		When told, however, that he must betake himself to Valinor and face the judgement of Manw?, he grew afraid and slipped away to the far east of the mortal lands to hide in shadows until it became evident that the Valar had largely removed themselves from the affairs of Middle-earth.
		The first kind of these Great Worms to be unleashed upon the luckless folk of Middle-earth were the slithering Cold-Drakes who fought with fangs and coiled grip, and their sheer size, numbers, and malevolent intelligence saw to it that much havoc was wrought throughout the land for centuries to come.

		The eagles were not asked to do this deed be >j== it was not their fight, they were not meant to be ring bearers, and >j== were not members of the Free Peoples.
		These smaller eagles of the Third age are mere descendents of those that dwelt in Beleriand in the first age and are no more connected to Manwe than the Ents are to Yavanna (is that the right comparison)?
		The final act of the drama was the evacuation of Gondor's High Commissioner and other emissaries by Gwaihir and his fellow eagles from the roof of the embassy castle in Nurn.

		I am in a quandary about this because I do not see that Manwë would have charged the Eagles with the help of the party, both from the rescue against the wolves, and also the Battle of Five Armies.
		Gandalf was charged to enter Middle-earth in a human form, and aid and prepare the people against the coming Darkness and to unite the races in an alliance if he could, but not to overtly exert his own might and splendour in the overthrow of Sauron.
		Both Eagles interventions came after Bilbo discovered the Ring, and in such a case, it was of utmost importance that the Orcs not recover the Ring.

		In answers #2 & #4, Eagles were stated as one of the armies, this is not so, the Wargs(or giant wolves) were the 5th army(along with orcs on one side, and the other side were dwarves, men, and elves).
		The Eagles did fight with dwarves, men, and elves,(as well as the bats mentioned in one answer for the other side.) but they can not be considered one of the armies for a few reasons.
		It reads: "Manw will not descend from the Mountain until the Dagor Dagorath, when Melkor returns.", and in a explanatory note it says: "This is a reference to `the Second Prophecy of Mandos', which is not in the Silmarillion".

		Yet the meaning of the stem IL- and its usage is somewhat obscure.
		Despide the lack of glossing of the name, there is no doubt that no one else but Manwe himself is being meant.
		He is not named by his "true" name in any other version, where one of his titles is used instead (sc.

		Back in Valinor he was chained within the fastness of Mandos for three ages until Manwë pardoned him and let him loose.
		Not only were the Eagles Manwë’s vassals, but they spoke the language of Men and Elves, so it did not take a Wizard to communicate with them, specifically.
		I would have to say that the Eagles had many means of receiving news, from Manwë himself, from Elves (remember Galadriel sent the Lord of the Eagles to look for Gandalf after the battle with the Balrog), and from their own eyes and messengers.

		Many thanks to Baylor for helping me with the timeline for the Changing of the World (when the seas became bent, the world became round, and the Undying Lands were removed from the reach of mortals).
		As you and Samwise lay in sleep, he charged the noble Gwaihir to convey a request to Manw?.
		"I do not remember the lord of eagles who brought Sam and me out of the fire; memory of that journey from despair to hope is forever lost to me." He turned back to C?rdan.

		Her father would bid her to stand when she knelt before him.
		He would kiss her on the forehead and place his hand on her hair the way he blessed her when she decided not to heed Manw?'s edict, forsaking the land of her birth and her people, choosing instead to brave the ice bridge of Helcaraxe.
		It would stand between her and her love.
