Since Kubrick had gone, everything with the Moon went wrong. -
Noldor. The Noldor, who were blessed by Valinor, were called Valinorean Noldor, or briefly - Valinoldor. In colloquial speech it became briefer Val'Noldor, and then the humans changed it into Vorlondor, or just "those Vorlons". Much later, visiting Babylon-5, the evolved Valinoldor were using this colloquial nickname "Vorlons" to be clear to the weak humans. Interesting fact. Their ambassador introduced himself as Kosh. The next ambassador also called himself Kosh, and added "All of us are Kosh". The word "kosh" doesn't sound elvish, on the first glance. But it's usual for the Quenya words to start with "qu-". So, it looks like originally "kosh" was "qosh", derived from the Quenya "qu" + some vowel. There is no "sh" in Quenya, but there is a lot of "ss" and its derivative "st". So, Kosh is probably derived from the Quenya "qu(vowel)s(s/t)" From the vocabulary: we can presume that Kosh is either erroneously pronounced by humans "quessë “feather”" or "questa “speech, language”". So, probably the "Vorlons" of the "Babylon-5" clan were addressing themselves as "Quessë", i.e "People of Feather", which looks reasonable if remember their poetic background. The Five of the First Ones, who were talking to Commander Ivanova, were obviously Mayar. They were angry at both elvish and orcish kinds, so the "Vorlons" and the "Shadows" avoided opposing them and got lost. Minbari, Narn, Centaurians, and so on, all of them were Lorien/Bombadil GMO, a genetic mixture of the Middle-Earth humans with other life forms, like molluscs, lizardz, and (who knows, maybe punks). That's why they are basically humanoids, and all of them recognize the superiority of true humans, Lesser Children of Eru. *** But what was the origin of the ents? It was not as enigmatic as it seems. When Melkor was building Utumno, he had spent a lot of wood, and it became clear that further construction efforts will need even more. For example, he needed a lot of wood to build an invasion fleet to Valinor, consisting of much bigger ships than the elvish boats. So, he asked his gardener, known in the 3rd epoch as Tom Bombadil, to develop a new kind of trees, much bigger than the existing ones, straight, with good wood, seeding around, and growing fast. The result of the Bombadil's efforts were mallorn. These trees were almost perfect to produce logs for building dungeons or ships. Bombadil has planted a whole forest of them, originally named by the elves as Laurelindorenan, but quickly renamed after another name, under which he is known in the Babylon Epoch, Lorien. It happened, when they let the hidden elvish kingdom exist, because the elves were quite good overseers for any kind of trees. Thus, while their queen Galadriel was not serving to Melkor and his descendants directly, she and her elves were guarding and servicing the Bombadil's wood plantation. It was satisfying everyone, and was kept unchanged for centuries. In the 3rd epoch, when the whole Middle-Earth was an arena of two opposing forces, the former System Engineer of Utumno, Sauron, and the former Utumno Senior Gardener, Bombadil, Galadriel was balancing between the two forces. She was avoiding any thing powered by Sauron, that's why she rejected the Ring. Otherwise she could face the consequences from Bombadil. Though, it was leading her to the Dark Side of Force, as we know from her demonstration. *** The mallorn were perfect, but their advantage was their disadvantage. They were really huge, and it was incredibly hard to cut them and bring across the Middle Earth. To solve this problem, Bombadil decided to make them self-propelled. "Walking trees!", said he. "Walking trees are what we need. They will dig out themselves, walk themselves, and lay down in the sawmill also themselves. We need the walking trees". Then he developed the so-called Huorns. It was clear, just not for the hobbits. The Huorns were a test prototype of the walking tree. In further plans their ability would be applied to the mallorn, to make them walk. The Huorns were walking good, but were too stupid to manage them properly. Bombadil was not find appropriate the risk of having stupid walking mallorn. That's why he decided to upgrade some huorns and turned them into more sapient ents. The ents were indeed Shepherds of the Trees. Their only purpose was to drive the walking mallorn to the Utumno, or Angband, or whatever else sawmill. The ents were relatively small (tiny, if compare them to the mallorn), so they would be controllable more easily. The events, which happened later in the Middle-Earth, delayed the project, but this doesn't mean "cancelled".
