Hello, everyone, I’m coriander
. Recently, a friend of mine sent me a private message. I was a little confused by the era of Middle-earth. I can’t tell which person corresponds to which epoch, which event occurred in which epoch, and even slurs. The names are even more stupid.
is indeed such a huge system. People, time, and events are so intertwined that it is difficult to remember.
Today, I will use my understanding and superficial knowledge to briefly introduce to you how the next era is divided, as well as iconic events and characters.
Whenever a landmark event begins, it is the beginning of a new era, and the end of a landmark event represents the end of an era. In the previous article,
introduced the birth of Middle-earth. Vera built the Middle-earth continent, but the world was still dark, so the goddess in charge of the growth of everything- Yavana sowed the seeds and asked the god of crafts Aoli built two huge lighthouses in the northernmost and southernmost areas to illuminate the Middle-earth continent.

Illuin
The giant lamp in the north is called Illuin , and the giant lamp in the south is Olmo . Then it was filled with light by Varda (Manway's wife) and Manway was canonized. This is the beginning of the giant lamp era . At this time, various animals and plants began to appear, and Alda appeared to be a vibrant scene.
At that time, Zhongweila lived between two giant lamps, on a lake island in the center of the Middle-earth Continent- Almaren Island . This is the first residence of the villas.
Just as the Vera was celebrating, Mirko sneaked into Middle-earth from the north and established Utama under the dark mountains.

Then Mirko waited for the opportunity to destroy the two giant lamps. The place where Illu fell behind the giant lamp formed the Helkan Inner Sea; the place where the giant lamp fell formed the Rinjir Inner Sea.
Mirko destroyed the giant lamp
. Middle-earth was also destroyed and divided into two, Amenzhou to the west, Middle-Earth Continent to the east, Beleger Sea in the middle, and the world plunged into darkness again. thus represents the end of the giant lantern era. The era lasted for more than 3000 years.
Middle-earth was divided into two,
Zhongweila also moved to Amenzhou because of the destruction of his home, where a new kingdom was established- Velino . Avana planted double sacred trees on the land of Villino-the golden sacred tree and the silver sacred tree , the golden one is called Luo Ruilin , and the silver one is called Telperian , and their light shines When Amen Chau was lighted up, the Villas used the brightness of the gold and silver trees to calculate the duration. From then on, the new era -the beginning of the double tree era. The era of lasted about 1500 years.

During this period, Mirko wrecked in the Middle-earth Continent, and some of the affected Maya became degenerate and twisted. They had flames in their hearts and shadows on the outside, holding fire whips and turned into itis. Magic . Mirko also built a castle on the northwest coast- Angban , used to resist the attack of Amen Chau. The defending general is the first tiger general under his command- Sauron .

Iluvita’s first-born son and daughter—elves, will wake up in this era. After the stars Varda , in order to welcome the arrival of the first-born children, take materials from the silver holy tree and make bright stars. Soon, the elves regained consciousness on the banks of the Middle-earth Continent at the shore of Lake Kuvinen. I saw the stars at first sight.

VeraOrdered to rule Arda at all costs and rescue the elves from Mirko’s shadow, the Vera attacked Mirko, and eventually forced Melko back to Utamo’s nest, and tied him with the chain Anguinol ( The chains all have names, so greasy chains), and took Villino back, and were sentenced to be imprisoned in the palace of Mandus for three epochs.
Mirko was caught back to Villino.
The dwarves also regained consciousness during this period. Three epochs after
, Mirko was released after serving his sentence. After asking for forgiveness from the Villas, they lived freely in Villino. He pretends to change his mind, hides the desire for revenge, and pretends to befriend the elf, but what he actually does is to provoke the relationship between the elf and Vera.
Later, Vera learned that the source of the rumors was Mirko, and he hurriedly escaped from Velino and went to Avasha, the darkest corner of the world, where there was a giant spider Ugoliant . Ugoliant is a fallen god, it uses a huge spider web to absorb all the light, until there is no light, making it extremely hungry and empty.
Mirko and the giant spider Ugoliant overthrew and destroyed the Double Sacred Tree. The Double Tree Era ended .
The villas used the last golden fruit of the golden sacred tree, which was carried by the spacecraft to sail in the sky, and became the light source to illuminate the world in daylight; they also used the last silver flower of the silver sacred tree, which was also carried by the spacecraft. The sky becomes a light source that illuminates the world at night. This is the sun and the moon, and it also marks the beginning of the solar era, , . The solar era is also the first era.
and Iluvita’s second child-, human beings finally awakened in the East in the first era .
The first era is less than 600 years old, but the war between the elves and Mirko has continued. Some human ancestors also helped the elves resist Melkor. These humans who resisted Melkor were called Eden. In the end, Vera couldn't stand it anymore and took a shot to clean up Mirko, expelling him from the Universe. thus ends in the first epoch. The evil Mirko should never come back again.
followed by and the second era began . For more than 3,000 years, the Vera, in order to reward the Eden people who bravely resisted Mirko, built a new island between the Middle-earth Continent and Amen- Numenor. allows the descendants of the Edenites to move there.
Numenor
and Sauron took over Mirko’s dark banner and continued his master’s unfinished dark career. In the Second Age, he first hired an elf craftsman to create the Nine Rings of Humans and the Seven Rings of Dwarves, and then secretly He created the Supreme Ring to control the human dwarves.
He also provokes the relationship between the elves and the Numenor people, and confuses King Numenor, instigating him to attack Villino and challenge the gods. It angered the Villas, and finally Numenor sank. Before
sank, those loyalists who were close to the elves and Vera escaped and came to Middle-earth. They established two kingdoms in exile, the Northern Kingdom and Gondor.
Finally, the elves and the exiled Numenor people united, and Sauron's hand holding the Lord of the Rings was cut off in the final battle. After losing the Lord of the Rings, he disappeared. This is the battle that began with the Lord of the Rings, and the second era of ended .
followed by and the third era began . Both "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" took place at the end of this era. Sauron, who had been silent for 3000 years, is finally about to make a comeback.
In short, the end of each epoch is related to Mirko and his minions! What a promoter of the wheel of history!
Alright, the several eras of Middle-earth are briefly described here. In fact, many things are not as simple as I said. I will tell you in detail in the following story with the plot of the movie!
