@MithLuin, did I see you editing the chart in the background as we went during that session?
Indeed you did.

Did the Hosts fail to accommodate that? For the Bottomless Dread to be implemented this season, Morgoth will need to be back before the Dagor Aglareb.Oh that's a problem. It probably means we have to do without the Bottomless Dread this season.

So are we going to have Sauron do the whole Bottomless Dread thing?It was discussed in prior sessions, but they may have overlooked that point in their zeal to keep Morgoth out of Angband.

The Hosts have opened a plot hole for us with having Morgoth be absent for most of this season. There's a reason why Sauron was called "the Deceiver", not "the Dominator"; he could deceive and wanted to dominate, but didn't have the power to.Can't. Has to be Morgoth. Sauron can seduce, but only Morgoth can flat-out dominate.

How do we integrate her treachery into something like Glaurung?Honestly I like the idea of the dragon being developed in the East while Morgoth is gone. Not sure how we explain anything or avoid revealing it instantly, though. The maia-that-will-become-Glauring could accompany Morgoth into the east,and so be introduced in Episode 1-2.
Morgoth can hit Edhellos with the Spell of Bottomless Dread when he gets back, and her treachery can be part of the season finale rather than the Dagor Aglareb. Sauron can still make her captive earlier.
Do we have to explain that Glaurung is a Maia at all? I mean.. it is not relly explained anywhere in the silm..

Well... isn't that the thing about Glaurung? That he just shows up out of nowhere to the audience and to the Elves?We want the audience to be anticipating 'What is Morgoth up to?' So, we have to throw them a few bones. If he just vanishes for 10 episodes and no one talks about him, that....doesn't make for much of a story.
So, we could have Sauron pay him a 'visit' in the East (ie, spy on him), and we could show him taking a Maia with him in an ominous 'I have a job for you' kind of way. Or we could just have those left behind in Angband talk about him and what he's up to. But there should be some reason for the audience to be thinking, 'What's Morgoth doing? What's going to happen when he comes back?' and not just...'Oh, hey, Morgoth, I almost forgot he was in this show.'
We intended to have her open a gate from the inside, or prevent an alarm from being sounded, something like that.
