The Silmarillion

1
It
is
told
among
the
wise
that
the
First
War
began
before
Arda
was
full
-
shaped
,
and
ere
yet
there
was
any
thing
that
grew
or
walked
upon
earth
;
and
for
long
Melkor
had
the
upper
hand
.
But
in
the
midst
of
the
war
a
spirit
of
great
strength
and
hardihood
came
to
the
aid
of
the
Valar
,
hearing
in
the
far
heaven
that
there
was
battle
in
the
Little
Kingdom
;
and
Arda
was
filled
with
the
sound
of
his
laughter
.
So
came
Tulkas
the
Strong
,
whose
anger
passes
like
a
mighty
wind
,
scattering
cloud
and
darkness
before
it
;
and
Melkor
fled
before
his
wrath
and
his
laughter
,
and
forsook
Arda
,
and
there
was
peace
for
a
long
age
.
And
Tulkas
remained
and
became
one
of
the
Valar
of
the
Kingdom
of
Arda
;
but
Melkor
brooded
in
the
outer
darkness
,
and
his
hate
was
given
to
Tulkas
for
ever
after
.
2
In
that
time
the
Valar
brought
order
to
the
seas
and
the
lands
and
the
mountains
,
and
Yavanna
planted
at
last
the
seeds
that
she
had
long
devised
.
And
since
,
when
the
fires
were
subdued
or
buried
beneath
the
primeval
hills
,
there
was
need
of
light
,
Aule
at
the
prayer
of
Yavanna
wrought
two
mighty
lamps
for
the
lighting
of
the
Middle
-
earth
which
he
had
built
amid
the
encircling
seas
.
Then
Varda
filled
the
lamps
and
Manwe
hallowed
them
,
and
the
Valar
set
them
upon
high
pillars
,
more
lofty
far
than
are
any
mountains
of
the
later
days
.
One
lamp
they
raised
near
to
the
north
of
Middleearth
,
and
it
was
named
Illuin
;
and
the
other
was
raised
in
the
south
,
and
it
was
named
Ormal
;
and
the
light
of
the
Lamps
of
the
Valar
flowed
out
over
the
Earth
,
so
that
all
was
lit
as
it
were
in
a
changeless
day
.
3
Then
the
seeds
that
Yavanna
had
sown
began
swiftly
to
sprout
and
to
burgeon
,
and
there
arose
a
multitude
of
growing
things
great
and
small
,
mosses
and
grasses
and
great
ferns
,
and
trees
whose
tops
were
crowned
with
cloud
as
they
were
living
mountains
,
but
whose
feet
were
wrapped
in
a
green
twilight
.

And
beasts
came
forth
and
dwelt
in
the
grassy
plains
,
or
in
the
rivers
and
the
lakes
,
or
walked
in
the
shadows
of
the
woods
.
As
yet
no
flower
had
bloomed
nor
any
bird
had
sung
,
for
these
things
waited
still
their
time
in
the
bosom
of
Yavanna
;
but
wealth
there
was
of
her
imagining
,
and
nowhere
more
rich
than
in
the
midmost
parts
of
the
Earth
,
where
the
light
of
both
the
Lamps
met
and
blended
.
And
there
upon
the
Isle
of
Almaren
in
the
Great
Lake
was
the
first
dwelling
of
the
Valar
when
all
things
were
young
,
and
new
-
made
green
was
yet
a
marvel
in
the
eyes
of
the
makers
;
and
they
were
long
content
.
5
Now
it
came
to
pass
that
while
the
Valar
rested
from
their
labours
,
and
watched
the
growth
and
unfolding
of
the
things
that
they
had
devised
and
begun
,
Manwe
ordained
a
great
feast
;
and
the
Valar
and
an
their
host
came
at
his
bidding
.
But
Aule
and
Tulkas
were
weary
;
for
the
craft
of
Aule
and
the
strength
of
Tulkas
had
been
at
the
service
of
an
without
ceasing
fax
the
days
of
their
labour
.
And
Melkor
knew
of
an
that
was
done
,
for
even
then
he
had
secret
friends
and
spies
among
the
Maiar
whom
he
had
converted
to
his
cause
;
and
far
off
in
the
darkness
he
was
filled
with
hatred
,
being
jealous
of
the
work
of
his
peers
,
whom
he
desired
to
make
subject
to
himself
.
Therefore
he
gathered
to
himself
spirits
out
of
the
halls
of
Ea
that
he
had
perverted
to
his
service
,
and
he
deemed
himself
strong
.
And
seeing
now
his
time
he
drew
near
again
to
Arda
,
and
looked
down
upon
it
,
and
the
beauty
of
the
Earth
in
its
Spring
filled
him
the
more
with
hate
.
6
Now
therefore
the
Valar
were
gathered
upon
Almaren
,
fearing
no
evil
,
and
because
of
the
light
of
Illuin
they
did
not
perceive
the
shadow
in
the
north
that
was
cast
from
afar
by
Melkor
;
for
he
was
grown
dark
as
the
Night
of
the
Void
.
7
And
it
is
sung
that
in
that
feast
of
the
Spring
of
Arda
Tulkas
espoused
Nessa
the
sister
of
Orome
,
and
she
danced
before
the
Valar
upon
the
green
grass
of
Almaren
.

Then
Tulkas
slept
,
being
weary
and
content
,
and
Melkor
deemed
that
his
hour
had
come
.
And
he
passed
therefore
over
the
Walls
of
the
Night
with
his
host
,
and
came
to
Middle
-
earth
far
in
the
north
;
and
the
Valar
were
not
aware
of
him
.
9
Now
Melkor
began
the
delving
and
building
of
a
vast
fortress
,
deep
under
Earth
,
beneath
dark
mountains
where
the
beams
of
Illuin
were
cold
and
dim
.
That
stronghold
was
named
Utumno
.
And
though
the
Valar
knew
naught
of
it
as
yet
,
nonetheless
the
evil
of
Melkor
and
the
blight
of
his
hatred
flowed
out
thence
,
and
the
Spring
of
Arda
was
marred
.
10
Green
things
fell
sick
and
rotted
,
and
rivers
were
choked
with
weeds
and
slime
,
and
fens
were
made
,
rank
and
poisonous
,
the
breeding
place
of
flies
;
and
forests
grew
dark
and
perilous
,
the
haunts
of
fear
;
and
beasts
became
monsters
of
horn
and
ivory
and
dyed
the
earth
with
blood
.
Then
the
Valar
knew
indeed
that
Melkor
was
at
work
again
,
and
they
sought
for
his
hiding
place
.
But
Melkor
,
trusting
in
the
strength
of
Utumno
and
the
might
of
his
servants
,
came
forth
suddenly
to
war
,
and
struck
the
first
blow
,
ere
the
Valar
were
prepared
;
and
he
assailed
the
lights
of
Illuin
and
Ormal
,
and
cast
down
their
pillars
and
broke
their
lamps
.
In
the
overthrow
of
the
mighty
pillars
lands
were
broken
and
seas
arose
in
tumult
;
and
when
the
lamps
were
spilled
destroying
flame
was
poured
out
over
the
Earth
.
And
the
shape
of
Arda
and
the
symmetry
of
its
waters
and
its
lands
was
marred
in
that
time
,
so
that
the
first
designs
of
the
Valar
were
never
after
restored
.
