Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is another name for Ilúvatar?

Answer: Eru

"There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar, and he made the first Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made."
2. Who was the most powerful Ainu that Ilúvatar created?

Answer: Melkor

Melkor tended to travel alone in the void, so he started to think his own thoughts of Arda. He desired to create things that Ilúvatar did not have planned for Arda. Melkor then created a war of sound between himself and Ilúvatar, but Ilúvatar overpowered him, and ended it.
"...Mighty are the Ainur, and mightiest among them is Melkor..."
-Ilúvatar

-Ilúvatar

The Ainur loved all the substances of Arda, but they loved water the most. The Peoples of Arda could hear the Music of the Ainur, from the waters, not knowing what they were listening to.
