	Arda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien's legendarium, Arda is the name given to the Earth in a period of fictional prehistory, wherein the places mentioned in The Lord of the Rings and related material once existed.
		Arda was part of Eä, the universe of all which exists.
		Originally the Earth (Arda) was flat, the continents were surrounded by a mighty ocean (or perhaps by space), Ekkaia or Vaiya, the Encircling Sea, and separated by Belegaer, called the Great Sea and the Sundering Seas.

		The Quendi or Elves awoke then, and were the only sentient beings in Arda, thus their name which means 'speakers'.
		The Valar attacked Melkor in Utumno so as to protect the Elves, and this war, known as War of the Gods, changed the western shores of Endor and new islands and bays were created.
		Then Arda 'bent' (became spherical) as we know it, and Aman was removed from the world and new lands were formed in the ocean.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Elves
		Unlike Men, the Elves were not subject to illness or death, and at the time of the Lord of the Rings, there were still at least two Elves in Aman who had awoken by Cuiviénen in the first days: Ingwë;, Lord of the Vanyar, and Olwë;, brother of King Elu Thingol.
		In the far eastern land of Cuiviénen, on the shores of the Inland Sea of Helcar and beneath the mountains of the Orocarni, the Elves awoke under the starlight of the Years of the Trees.
		Concerned for the safety of the Elves in Middle-earth, which was at that time under the control of Melkor, the Valar left Valinor and made war against the Dark Lord: this was the Battle of the Powers, which saw Melkor taken as captive back to Valinor.

		Elves do not "die" in the way understood by Men; Elves often live in the lands of Middle-earth for thousands of years, suffering neither the effects of time nor disease, though the body of an Elf may be struck down in battle.
		Long ago, the Elves welcomed the "younger" races of Middle-earth and allied with them when the need was great, but centuries of war, betrayal, and hardship have made them fiercely protective of their seclusion.
		Now, as the Third Age draws to a close and the War of the Ring is at hand, the Elves are once again stirring from their forested realms and hidden valleys, allying with the Free Peoples of Middle-earth against the darkness which grows from both the North and East.

	The Universe According to Tolkien
		They know that elves and men, the Children of God, are to come at an uncertain moment straight from the hand of Eru and not from the Valar’s contributions to the Great Music.

		Elves make their first contact with Men during their struggle with Morgoth and learn that the newcomers have their own quarrel with the Enemy.

		But though the Elves were not strong enough to break the power of the Dark Lord as long as he held the One Ring, their allies, the Númenóreans, had grown mighty in the West and even in the reckoning of Elves were god-like in power though they were but mortals.
		The concerns of the Elves seemed largely their own in all bur one matter: that of the Lord of the Rings, who came to Mordor once again and sent his servants, the Nazgûl, out over the land.

		Elves have few children, as a rule; (Fëanor and Nerdanel were an exception, conceiving seven sons), and there are relatively sizable intervals between each child.

		Tolkien called the Elves of Middle-earth who had undergone this process "Lingerers", and the process may be thought of as a fourth and final cycle of Elven life.
