Author's Notes: Character List (Wars of the Valar)

Character List

This is a list of the Ayanumuz and their attendant Máyar. All Máyar are listed whether they have actually appeared in the story or not (and I reserve the right to add additional Máyar if necessary \*grin\*). Máyar are considered canon unless otherwise designated as Original Characters (OMC/OFC). Many, though not all, of the OC names are taken from the names of "lost Valar and Maiar" that can be found in some of Tolkien’s earlier works, such as the Book of Lost Tales, and those familiar with such stories will no doubt recognize these names. Where necessary, their Qenya orthography has been modified to reflect LOTR-styled Quenya. [Qenya (pronounced the same as "Quenya") refers to the earlier versions of what we know as Quenya.] The rest of the names are of my own devising. These names are Quenya unless otherwise noted. Where possible, I have given the meaning of names. A name with an asterisk indicates the chief Máya of a particular Ayanuz.
