most likely, are the children of hurin and the silmarillion two separate books?

Yes but a summary of the children of Hurin story is in The Silmarillion. Along with stories about Luthien and Beren, Elrond's parents, and lots more.

Well Morgoth went against the will of Iluvatar (God) and tried to dominate Arda (Middle Earth, the blessed realm, and all the seas) and ended spoiling the valars' world to the point that they had to go to Aman and build a fence of mountains against him. Those maiar (like Gandalf and Saruman) who went with Morgoth he occassionally converted into demons of fire, hence balrogs.

I see. I'm glad that Ganders didn't go insane and follow morgoth.

Yes, Olorin was the humble, mellow type. He didn't even want to go to Middle Earth in the Third Age because he was happy where he was and feared Sauron, but then it's that type of personality that works best again evil Tolkien says.

I'm glad to meet others who have read the Silmarillion, which I consider to be Tolkien's best work. I am a huge Silmarillion nerd, probably the biggest under the age of twenty. Don't believe me? I just finished adapting The Tale of Beren and Luthien into a screenplay over 120 pages. Fairly sad, I know.

Unfortunately, Tinuviel, the posts you are responding to are five years old, so I wouldn't bet on anyone here knowing the Silmarillion now. I have certainly read it - I read it when it first appeared, indeed - but I could not be relied on to recall all the details now. (Anyone who has read LOTR should now the basic stories of Luthien and of Earendil, of course.)

I know. The whole Lord of the Rings section has been largely abandoned, save for a few Hobbit threads from last year. It saddens me.
