His patience waiting for the [[Elves]] to awake gets the best of him and Aulë secretly decides to create the [[Seven Fathers of the Dwarves]]. [[Ilúvatar]], also known as [[Ilúvatar|Eru]] (the One), soon learns of Aulë's actions and Aulë is forced to destroy his creations. However Ilúvatar now does not want to see the [[Dwarves]] destroyed, so he grants them life of their own. They must however rest until the [[Awakening of the Elves]] who Eru has chosen to be the Firstborn of the [[Children of Ilúvatar]].<br /> <br /> [[Yavanna]], the spouse of Aulë, soon learns of her husband's deeds, she fears the Dwarves, or even the Elves and [[Men]] will harm her [[plants]] and [[trees]] which she loves. She goes to [[Manwë]] to seek protection. Manwë has a vision of the [[Song of Creation]] in which Eru tells him not to fear as spirits will also awake to protect what Yavanna holds dear.<br /> <br /> ==History of the text==<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=6912 Chapter discussion at Entmoot.com]<br /> * [http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13349 Chapter discussion at BarrowDowns.com]<br /> <br /> [[fi:Aulë ja Yavanna (Silmarillion)]]</div>
