Flame of Udun

A dark power rises 
    from the bowels of the earth
Breathing fire and
    brimstone 
A battle which takes place
   deep in the earth
Results in a magical
   transformation
There are numerous trials
   which take place in Middle Earth
The world of men, dwarves, hobbits 
    and elves
Must be protected 
One of the Istari 
    must overcome
The treachery of the head 
    of the order
Gain the title of White Wizard 
    for himself
The Flame of Udun - A balrog 
   is the supreme test
Borne away by eagles 
   Gandalf the Grey 
becomes Gandalf the White
   Durin's Bane defeated
clearing a path for the
   greater challenge
The conquest of a 
   lidless Red Eye 
Evil Incarnate

Matt, is this all from Lord of the Rings? I read the trilogy way back in highschool, 72. So my memory of all the phrases such as Durin Bane or Udun are not there with me anymore. I know you love this stuff and it's really cool that you write about it. You are a true fan of Tolkein!
