Why did Melian the Maia leave Doriath
She only really cared about Thingol and Lúthien and they were dead or mortal
Eru encouraged her to leave, as her part in his plans had ended
The girdñe of Melian was made out of her love for Thingol and powered by it
Melian refused to rule over Children of Ilúvatar as that is wrong
According to Appendix D, elves measure something akin to what we call years once every 144 years. Elrond would be in his mid-40s during the Lord of the Rings!
Galadriel would be in her late 50s

Imagine in the very far future, archeologists find pages of the SIlmarillion, the Lord of the Rings, the HoME etc. and try piecing together the myths people in England believed in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, thinking that these writings constitute the actual mythology of a people. Do you think Tolkien would be proud?
