Is this what JRRT is trying to say in that horrible travesty of a jumble of words called the Simarillion?

The Silmarillion is a fantastic story.Greater then LOTR itself. If you have the disiplen to get through the editing you would have the answer to your question.

No the eagles cannot directly interfere either as they are the servants of the chief god of Middle Earth who will not involve himself in this struggle directly. The battle the gods were involved was to throw down the true evil god <not Sauron> and that sank 3/4 of the world into the ocean. In short it's not EQ with insta travel or rent a windrider.

Frodo should have just gotten a druid to port him there.

Or alternatively he could have grouped with a Bard with selo's, it's probably faster.

[Lill-Leif]

"Don't tempt me Frodo! I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe. Understand Frodo, I would use this Ring from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine."

[Eyry]

The eagles wouldnt have to interfere...all they have to do is fly over and let frodo drop the ring in.

What troubles me most is the true hero is Samwise ... He *wanted* the ring to be thrown into the lava. He and Frodo got there and what does Frodo do? "NO!! I'm keeping it!"

All this nonsense over what a hero Frodo is?! Bah!!

I know right? At the end of LOTR, Frodo doesn't even get there if Sam doesn't defeat Shelob, then at the end, Frodo gets to go to Valinor and Sam is left there...wtf!

I don't know if I would call Beleriand 3/4 of the world. It was at best 1/3 of Middle Earth, probably closer to 1/4. And Middle Earth is only one of the many continents in Arda.

Eagles weren't in Middle earth, but afghanistan, where the WMD were...
