Loss of forest (Brethil!) ;-( [In reply to] Can't Post
In Reply To
Very interesting essay, and the discussion following it has been delightful to read (puns and all!) SmileAngelic

So, the question I bring to this discussion, is, if the Valar were responsible for drowning Beleriand (full of lovely trees -- sorry Brethil!) and the resulting climatic conditions were unfavourable for original tree species reforestation, just how irate was Yavanna at all this!!?? Oh that's a good question Telain. (And yes its sad memory for me. All my lovely trees!) It seems that with the withdrawal of the Valar form the spheres of life in Arda perhaps Yavanna suffers the most; Ulmo the least. I'm sure she feels profoundly the actual loss of the trees and the wildlife that are lost with Beleriand; and as you say, then there are climate changes to follow that change parts of the world, especially the Western coast. Plus she has less involvement as time progresses. My hope is that after Morgoth is overthrown, there is that ruinous sinking, but then maybe some stable years (where as you say, the squirrel can travel in the trees - I can't quite find the line either! Is it Treebeard?) where life flourishes.
