In Valar & Maiar you learn about Balrogs, as well as other greater spirits (good and evil) inhabiting J.R.R. Tolkien's marvelous world. These immortal beings, the mighty Ainur, helped shape middle-earth -- The place Elves call Endor. Their story dominates much of the continents troubled history. Fallen Ainur, Morgoth, Sauron, and the Balrogs, forever haunt the land, twisting Endor's peoples and perverting it's politics. Faithful Valar, like Orome and Aule, serve as patrons for the free peoples, Wise Miair, like Gandalf and Tom Bombadil, act as caretakers of the balance of things. Each has a place in Eru's scheme, and each has a story that colors the grand saga of Middle-earth.
