Not Arnor, Anor! Drop the R
Soloclin

Gandalf challenges the Balrog by weilding the flame of Anor. Anor means the sun, not Arnor the ancient realm. I think that since the sun is the fruit Laurelin from one of the two trees of Valinor, Gandalf might just be talking about his power as a maia sent by the powers of the west as opposed to the Balrog (another maia, corrupted as we know)who Gandalf address by Flame of Udun (best translated as fire of hell if I remember correctly)
