OOC:I don't like how you said "they played a small part" when in reality, they played a very big one. And Gandalf's wording still implies plurality.

Also, The Silmarillion still existed in most aspects, even if it was edited... alot. Don't worry, TUH, I've read the back of the Silmarillion Second Edition in which it tells me it was published posthumously.
