Manwë and Melkor are the most powerful of the Valar in Tolkien’s works, and they are brothers. One represents the sky, and winds, kingly and high, while the other is the Dark Lord, who sought power and knowledge. Who would win? Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about this conflict in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
