The
Valar
sat
now
behind
their
mountains
at
peace
;
and
having
given
light
to
Middle
-
earth
they
left
it
for
long
untended
,
and
the
lordship
of
Morgoth
was
uncontested
save
by
the
valour
of
the
Noldor
.
Most
in
mind
Ulmo
kept
the
exiles
,
who
gathered
news
of
the
Earth
through
all
the
waters
.
From
this
time
forth
were
reckoned
the
Years
of
the
Sun
.
Swifter
and
briefer
are
they
than
the
long
Years
of
the
Trees
in
Valinor
.
In
that
time
the
air
of
Middle
-
earth
became
heavy
with
the
breath
of
growth
and
mortality
,
and
the
changing
and
ageing
of
all
things
was
hastened
exceedingly
;
life
teemed
upon
the
soil
and
in
the
waters
in
the
Second
Spring
of
Arda
,
and
the
Eldar
increased
,
and
beneath
the
new
Sun
Beleriand
grew
green
and
fair
.
At
the
first
rising
of
the
Sun
the
Younger
Children
of
Iluvatar
awoke
in
the
land
of
Hildorien
in
the
eastward
regions
of
Middle
-
earth
;
but
the
first
Sun
arose
in
the
West
,
and
the
opening
eyes
of
Men
were
turned
towards
it
,
and
their
feet
as
they
wandered
over
the
Earth
for
the
most
part
strayed
that
way
.
The
Atani
they
were
named
by
the
Eldar
,
the
Second
People
;
but
they
called
them
also
Hildor
,
the
Followers
,
and
many
other
names
:
Apanonar
,
the
After
-
born
,
Engwar
,
the
Sickly
,
and
Firimar
,
the
Mortals
;
and
they
named
them
the
Usurpers
,
the
Strangers
,
and
the
Inscrutable
,
the
Self
-
cursed
,
the
Heavy
-
handed
,
the
Night
-
fearers
,
the
Children
of
the
Sun
.
Of
Men
little
is
told
in
these
tales
,
which
concern
the
Eldest
Days
before
the
waxing
of
mortals
and
the
waning
of
the
Elves
,
save
of
those
fathers
of
men
,
the
Atanatari
,
who
in
the
first
years
of
the
Sun
and
Moon
wandered
into
the
North
of
the
world
.
To
Hildorien
there
came
no
Vala
to
guide
Men
,
or
to
summon
them
to
dwell
in
Valinor
;
and
Men
have
feared
the
Valar
,
rather
than
loved
them
,
and
have
not
understood
the
purposes
of
the
Powers
,
being
at
variance
with
them
,
and
at
strife
with
the
world
.
Ulmo
nonetheless
took
thought
for
them
aiding
the
counsel
and
will
of
Manwe
;
and
his
messages
came
often
to
them
by
stream
and
flood
.
But
they
have
not
skill
in
such
matters
,
and
still
less
had
they
in
those
days
before
they
had
mingled
with
the
Elves
.
Therefore
they
loved
the
waters
,
and
their
hearts
were
stirred
,
but
they
understood
not
the
messages
.
Yet
it
is
told
that
ere
long
they
met
Dark
Elves
in
many
places
,
and
were
befriended
by
them
;
and
Men
became
the
companions
and
disciples
in
their
childhood
of
these
ancient
folk
,
wanderers
of
the
Elven
-
race
who
never
set
out
upon
the
paths
to
Valinor
,
and
knew
of
the
Valar
only
as
a
rumour
and
a
distant
name
.
Morgoth
had
then
not
long
come
back
into
Middle
-
earth
,
and
his
power
went
not
far
abroad
,
and
was
moreover
checked
by
the
sudden
coming
of
great
light
.
There
was
little
peril
in
the
lands
and
hills
;
and
there
new
things
,
devised
long
ages
before
in
the
thought
of
Yavanna
and
sown
as
seed
in
the
dark
,
came
at
last
to
their
budding
and
their
bloom
.
West
,
North
,
and
South
the
children
of
Men
spread
and
wandered
,
and
their
joy
was
the
joy
of
the
morning
before
the
dew
is
dry
,
when
every
leaf
is
green
.
But
the
dawn
is
brief
and
the
day
full
often
belies
its
promise
;
and
now
the
time
drew
on
to
the
great
wars
of
the
powers
of
the
North
,
when
Noldor
and
Sindar
and
Men
strove
against
the
hosts
of
Morgoth
Bauglir
,
and
went
down
in
ruin
.
To
this
end
the
cunning
lies
of
Morgoth
that
he
sowed
of
old
,
and
sowed
ever
anew
among
his
foes
,
and
the
curse
that
came
of
the
slaying
at
Alqualonde
,
and
the
oath
of
Feanor
,
were
ever
at
work
.
Only
a
part
is
here
told
of
the
deeds
of
those
days
,
and
most
is
said
of
the
Noldor
,
and
the
Silmarils
,
and
the
mortals
that
became
entangled
in
their
fate
.
In
those
days
Elves
and
Men
were
of
like
stature
and
strength
of
body
,
but
the
Elves
had
greater
wisdom
,
and
skill
,
and
beauty
;
and
those
who
had
dwelt
in
Valinor
and
looked
upon
the
Powers
as
much
surpassed
the
Dark
Elves
in
these
things
as
they
in
turn
surpassed
the
people
of
mortal
race
.
Only
to
the
realm
of
Doriath
,
whose
queen
Melian
was
of
the
kindred
of
Valar
,
did
the
Sindar
come
near
to
match
the
Calaquendi
of
the
Blessed
Realm
.
Immortal
were
the
Elves
,
and
their
wisdom
waxed
from
age
to
age
,
and
no
sickness
nor
pestilence
brought
death
to
them
.
Their
bodies
indeed
were
of
the
stuff
of
Earth
,
and
could
be
destroyed
;
and
in
those
days
they
were
more
like
to
the
bodies
of
Men
,
since
they
had
not
so
long
been
inhabited
by
the
fire
of
their
spirit
,
which
consumes
them
from
within
in
the
courses
of
time
.
But
Men
were
more
frail
,
more
easily
slain
by
weapon
or
mischance
,
and
less
easily
healed
;
subject
to
sickness
and
many
ills
;
and
they
grew
old
and
died
.
What
may
befall
their
spirits
after
death
the
Elves
know
not
.
Some
say
that
they
too
go
to
the
halls
of
Mandos
;
but
their
place
of
waiting
there
is
not
that
of
the
Elves
,
and
Mandos
under
Iluvatar
alone
save
Manwe
knows
whither
they
go
after
the
time
of
recollection
in
those
silent
halls
beside
the
Outer
Sea
.
None
have
ever
come
back
from
the
mansions
of
the
dead
,
save
only
Beren
son
of
Barahir
,
whose
hand
had
touched
a
Silmaril
;
but
he
never
spoke
afterward
to
mortal
Men
.
The
fate
of
Men
after
death
,
maybe
,
is
not
in
the
hands
of
the
Valar
,
nor
was
all
foretold
in
the
Music
of
the
Ainur
.
In
after
days
,
when
because
of
the
triumph
of
Morgoth
Elves
and
Men
became
estranged
,
as
be
most
wished
,
those
of
the
Elven
-
race
that
lived
still
in
Middle
-
earth
waned
and
faded
,
and
Men
usurped
the
sunlight
.
