I believe Tolkien elves also "grow weary of the world", hinting at some mental health problems.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoWhile that's true, the situation with the Nonmen is . . . well . . . extreme. It's far worse than mere weariness. The whole world of Earwa is much darker and more violent than Tolkien's. Sauron would be a far preferable master even to the secondary antagonists in Second Apocalypse.
