Valar - Aule by kuliszu on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"His lordship is over all the substances of which Arda is made. (...) He is a smith and a master of all crafts, and he delights in works of skill, however small, as much as in the mighty building of old. His are the gems that lie deep in the Earth and the gold that is fair in the hand, no less than the walls of the mountains and the basins of the sea."

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Valaquenta
