Meanwhile, Melkor is released from his long imprisonment by Manwë, the king of the Valar, and begins secretly working to estrange the elves from the Valar. ![]() In Valinor, the elf Fëanor creates three beautiful jewels called the Silmarils which contain the light of the sacred Trees of Valinor. The Valar invite the elves to join them in Valinor, leading to the sundering of the elves into many different groups across the world. Around that time, the elves awaken in Middle-earth and the Valar imprison Melkor. When the world is finished, the Valar settle in the land of Valinor, across the sea from Middle-earth where Melkor resides. Melkor repeatedly destroys the Valar’s work and convinces some of the Maiar, lesser spirits, to follow him. Once Ilúvatar creates the foundations of the world, the Valar, a group of 14 Ainur with dominion over different aspects of the world, descend to begin preparing it for the arrival of elves and men. One Ainu, Melkor, creates discord and changes his part of the music to empower himself, but he’s unable to affect Ilúvatar’s ultimate plan. He teaches the Ainur to sing Great Music that conceives the world he subsequently brings into being. The Silmarillion begins when Ilúvatar, an omniscient and omnipotent being, creates a group of spirits called the Ainur before the beginning of time. ![]()
