Richard, I Must Agree With You
Arina

I appreciated your views on the balrog it made me do some thinking, one thing I am not sure on is you said that Balrogs could think for themselves but dont act until given orders or they are threated, am I correct? I just wanted to expound on that topic a little, I think that the Balrogs just dont do things with out reason, when they are threatened they attack, when someone superior like Sauron tells them to do something they are smart enough to do it. Balrogs dont destroy on their own for no reason, but when they are told to go destroy, they know how to enjoy the job they are doing. I think they are alot smarter than we give them credit for and they just play being stupid really well.
