Post Description

The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days of the First Age of Tolkien's world. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in THE LORD OF THE RINGS look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Gladriel took part . the tales of THE SILMARILLION are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor, created by Feanor, most gifted of the Elves. We hear of the rebellion of Fea and his kindred against the gods, and of the war, hopeless despite great heroism, against the great Enemy.
