User blog:Argali1/A theory of mine.

Ok. So, when Arda was flat, there was The Ekkaia sorounding it. However, what happened to The Ekkaia after Arda gained planet status? Well, it is never quite said. You would think that Eru would just get rid of it, but, think about it. Ulmo's main base was there. He wouldn't just destroy the home of one of his Pantheon members! So, my theory is that The Ekkaia still exists, but, as a huge ring encircling Arda. This would basically be a solid-bottomed, water-based, planet-ring that is held together by the Valar's magic that Orbits Arda, along with The Ithil! It's a cool idea, no? What do you think of my theory?
