Part 2/8:
According to the accounts, Tulkas, whose surname is Astaldo (meaning "the valiant"), was the last of the Valar to arrive on the planet. His purpose was clear: to aid his fellow Valar in the early battles against the dark lord Melkor. Tulkas relishes physical confrontations and boasts unmatched speed, surpassing all creatures with hooves. What sets him apart is not just his physical prowess; he often chooses to fight without a mount, relying solely on his incredible speed and endurance.
