He is reviving the interesting threads of the forum hoping that our following discussions will at least be a little topic-and-lotr-orientated instead of endless "social" posts 😉
This topic kinda reminds me of one of the new ones 😖hifty:
Aule incorporated the will to create always new things ... and to be proud of them, which is exactly the reason of the negative result of Feanor's work, and of Sauron's (though that was planned), and somehow also of Saruman's downfall. All positive properties turn negative if too extreme - like Feanor's creativity and craftsmanship or Saruman's curiosity and seeking for knowledge.
And Aule seems to spread this extreme-ness... everything negative is somehow connected to him... Morgoth, Sauron, Saruman, the Fall and Doom of the Noldor and later Celebrimbor who made the Rings of Power... or also the idea to create an own "race" (orcs/dwarves)
