	arda - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Tolkien, Arda is the world in which all of the events occur, including the continents of Middle-earth and Aman.
		Arda was created, together with the rest of Eä, through the Music of the Ainur for the Children of Ilvatar (that is, Elves and Men).
		Arda Marred is the name given to the world as it is: the world after the wars of the Valar and Melkor, and the dispersing of Melkor's fa in the entire world.

		Tolkien, 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.
		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 word "Arda" was apparently conceived as a cognate of English "Earth" and its equivalents in the other Germanic languages (such as Dutch aard, German Erde), although it ostensibly has no relation, being a Quenya word.

	Arda - Tolkien Gateway
		Arda (Quenya 'The Realm') is derived from Valarin Aþâraphelûn, is the world in which all of the events occur, including the continents of Middle-earth and Aman.
		Arda Marred (Valarin Aþâraphelûn Dušamanûðân; Arda Hastaina in Quenya) is a term referring to the world as it now is, stained by the evil of Melkor.
		Arda Marred also broke the design of Elvish immortality: in Arda Marred Elves slowly fade, until at last they are little more than wraiths.

	TolkienWiki: Arda
		Arda was sung by the Ainur and materialised with Ea by Ilúvatar, intended to be the dwelling palce of the Children, wholly tempered, flat, round and symmetrical.
		The growth of nature stopped because of the absence of light, and this period was later known as Sleep of Yavanna.
		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.

		Though Manwë was held to be the High King of Arda, all these eight were held in equal reverence, and were said to possess a majesty that surpassed even the other Valar.
		He was appointed to be, in the fullness of time, the first of all Kings: lord of the realms of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein.
		In Arda his delight is in the winds and the clouds, and in all the regions of the air, from the heights to the depths, from the utmost borders of the Veil of Arda to the breezes that blow in the grass.

	NPC Closeup - Arda Pharn, Cleric of Lolth
		She and Arda developed an intense rivalry that resulted in a number of failed assassination attempts and some moderate collateral damage.
		For years, neither woman could gain the upper hand: Arda's strength in divine magic was greater, but Vandra had the power and resources of their house at her disposal.
		Arda wasted no time in pouncing on her and she offered her rival's still beating heart as a sacrifice to the Spider Goddess.

	History of Arda - Free net encyclopedia
		The essence of their song symbolized the history of the whole universe and the Children of Ilúvatar that were to dwell in it — the Men and the Elves.
		The first 15 of the Ainur that descended to Arda, and the most powerful ones, were called Valar, and the Ainur of lesser might that followed were called Maiar.
		The Third Age saw the rise in power of the realms of Arnor and Gondor, and their fall.

		The history of the two kingdoms is intertwined; both kingdoms are known as the Realms of the DÃºnedain in Exile.
		His three eldest sons were killed with him, but the fourth and youngest, Valandil, survived and became king of Arnor (T.A 2 or 10?).
		Because Valandil and his heirs did not claim the throne of Gondor the realms were split, but Arnor's ruler kept the title High King, whereas in the south the ruler was 'just' King.

	Arda - The Lord of the Rings Wiki
		Arda was the world on which humans, elves, dwarfs and hobbits live, including the continents of Middle-earth and Aman.
		Tolkien stated many times that Arda was our world in a fictional time, so we can interpret the known regions of Middle-earth as Europe, perhaps specifically the Mediterranean (Mediterraneus is Latin for "Middle-earth").
		Arda is made round and new lands are created east of Middle-Earth (and west too, now that the world is round and can be circumnavigated), out of these Sun Lands that are apparently meant to be North and South America, though none of Tolkien's mythology deals with what happens there.

		The Encyclopedia of Arda is a personal project - a tribute to and a celebration of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
		This lies a long way in the future, though; if the regions of Eä are vast beyond the thought of Elves and Men, so too are the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
		About The Encyclopedia of Arda First, it needs to be emphasised that the site is nowhere near completion, and will probably never achieve this.

		The world of Arda is occupied by many different kingdoms, states and nations.
		It is perhaps also the most culturally dynamic of all realms, where tall blond Eastern knights can be seen walking the same streets as darker-skinned Mardists in flowing robes, while Tilean merchants hawk their wares in the same markets as Qattaran slavers.
		The semi-organised Blood Skull Baronies of the north-west are ruled by the Goblin King and from time to time they raid to the south though normally they expend their energy fighting one another.

	Arda - Major Regions
		As the mid-point of any journey from Khitai to Tashim Selentia, Batubatan is in many ways the centre of Arda: the mountain called Ardamana (Navel of the World), where Duryadhi the Revealer discovered the Aujuna understanding of the True Faith while in mourning for her husband, can be found in western Durpar.
		Gatanades the Saviour established the True Faith during the heyday of the Empire, and Selentia overshadows even Batubatan as the region of Arda with the greatest concentration of believers in the True God.
		While some of the ancient gods continue to live on their mountains and in their underground domains, they are no longer a part of the world that lies between their realms: it is the True Faith of Gatanades and of Akabah the Illuminate that dominates the Selentine kingdoms.

		Tolkien's great mythological tales of Middle-earth are meant to be taken, fictitiously, as an ancient history of the Earth, particularly of Europe, from several thousand years before the lands took their present shape.
		This because Aman was removed from Arda, and the Eastlands were unknown, and thus 'Middle-earth' was the only known part of the world.
		For instance, the Encyclopedia of Arda considers only The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion to be canonical.
