1They weren't doing anything obvious; but they're essentially gods - what leads you to believe they were doing nothing at all?– Matt GuttingCommented May 31, 2015 at 16:46

2@Matt Gutting They didn't do anything significant enough to prevent Morgoth from wiping out or enslaving most of the Eldar and Edain in Beleriand.– Sam KauffmanCommented Jun 1, 2015 at 1:02

6In fairness to the Valar, they did try to help the Elves very early on: they went to war against Morgoth, and invited the Elves to Aman. A direct consequence of those decisions was the destruction of the Two Trees, the first murder in the Undying Lands, and the First Kinslaying. I can understand they'd be a little reluctant to take direct action after that track record– Jason BakerCommented Jun 1, 2015 at 1:17

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
