to return to Middle Earth. It is when Frodo set off on his adventures.
I haven't read the Silmarillion in many years and have been wanting to
return to it's beauty. The beginning is a bit of a plow but once
I get to Quenta Silmarillion the speed picks up. It
is told among the wise that the First War began before Arda was
full-shaped, and ere yet there was anything that grew or walked upon
earth; and for long Melkor had the upper hand. But in the midst
of the war a spirit of great strength and hardihood came to the aid of
the Valar, hearing in the far heaven that there was battle in the
Little Kingdom; and Arda was filled with the sound of his
laughter. So came Tulkus the Strong.
