Summary: Rain is no office of the Valar

---

Rain is no office of the Valar, neither Ainur or Maiar, to cause to fall or cease. Water, yes, and air, the currents on which clouds sail, waves and streams and dew-strewn meadows from which water rises into cloud, but the intermixture is ordained by rules of how the world was made. In that interweaving is beauty, wonder, the unexpected, unforeseen. Potential for destruction and creation. Rain in Tree-light was astonishing, breathtaking; rain in sunlight scatters rainbows. Rain can be a song, a washing-clean, a refreshing draught. Yet too much or not enough destroys: in that is the Marring shown.
