So with much sorrow the rest of the Valar moved west to Valinor, which would later be known as the Undying Lands. They built two great lamps in the north and south of Middle Earth, and many beautiful gardens and forests, however Melkor, the most powerful of them, destroyed it all. They were fourteen in number and they wanted to create a beautiful world like in the vision. Backgroundįollowing the completion of Ea, the world that is, the first race, the Ainur, beings of pure spirit came into the Timeless hall, and these were called the Valar. This was Melkor and he strove to create a different world to the one in Eru's vision and so alienated himself from his brothers. One however, tried to change the music and created discord from which came many evils. So beautiful was this music that from it came the Valar, and they too contributed to the music and began forming the world.
But he grew lonely, and so created the music of Ainur. In the beginning there was only one: Eru.
