[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9062175, member: 7024481"] Wrong. If you read the Silmarillion and all the other books you'll know that when one of the "gods" lesser or greater spend too much time in middle earth they eventually become bound to what attracts them the most. Once they are "bound" to that they eventually fade away after the magic, the elves and all the other powers of divine and magic go away. Tom Bombadil is one of the Valor who came to middle earth fell in love and refused to leave at the end of the 1st age. When the magic faded he faded because he was unable to leave his chosen home. Since the wizards were afraid of the corrupting power of the ring and he wasn't most likely he was one of the full blown gods who fought Melkor in the first age and just didn't go home. No one knows about him because he's been stuck in that plot of land since he didn't go home at the end of the first age. Kind've like Prometheus chained to the rock but willingly he lived there with his lady till the end. Basically it was a very similar story Luthien and Turen. Tolken love the idea of Love that refused to bow to reality. [/QUOTE]
