>'War shall he have and hatred undying. But when we have conquered and have regained the Silmarils, then we and we alone shall be lords of the unsullied Light, and masters of the bliss and beauty of Arda. No other race shall oust us!'

I just learned about the concept after reading about the judge holden is an Archon theory. The idea of an evil demiurge and gnosticism in general is fascinating to me.
