 | | In this manner "Ainulindalë" (translated from Elvish: The Music of the Ainur) and "Valaquenta" (Account of the Valar), the first two books of Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", begin, and so does also the tales of Middle-earth. |
 | | The Lords of the Valar are Manwë, Ulmo, Aulë, Oromë, Mandos, Lórien and Tulkas, and the Queens Varda, Yavanna, Nienna, Estë, Vairë, Vána and Nessa. |
 | | To protect themselves, they built the Pelóri, the Mountains of Defence, and upon them Manwë, the mightiest Valar, built his throne. |
