The Creation:
- "Out of the Music came a Vision like a globed light in the Void."
- "Into Arda the Valar and Maiar brought many things of beauty but also there was strife."
- "When the shaping of the world was complete, the mighty Valar and Maiar spiritschose to light all Arda with two Great Lamps."
- "One lamp was was placed in the North and was called Illuin."
- "In the South was placed another Great Lamp called Ormal."
- "After a time, the evil Vala Melkor made war and cast down the Great Pillars."
- "The mountains were broken and the consuming flames of the Lamps spread over the World."
- "Almaren, the first kingdom of the Valar was destroyed and the Ages of the Lamps were ended."
- "After the destruction of Almaren, the Valar went into the West to the Undying Lands, where they built Valinor."
- "The Valar chose to light Valinor with two magical Trees."
