Of the Sun and Moon: The Mythic Dawn of Middle-earth
The Creation of Light and the First Days
Before the Ages of Middle-earth truly began, the Valar crafted celestial wonders from the last remnants of the Two Trees. From Telperion's silver flower came the gleaming Moon, while Laurelin's golden fruit became the radiant Sun. These luminous vessels, guided by Maiar spirits across the skies of Arda, marked the end of starlit darkness and heralded the awakening of Men in the East. Their creation forever transformed the face of Middle-earth, setting in motion the great tales of the First Age and beyond.
