Spring of Arda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spring of Arda is a period in the history of J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth. It was when the Valar had ordered the World as they wished and rested upon Almaren, and Melkor lurked beyond the Walls of Night. During this time animals first appeared, and forests started to grow.

The Spring was interrupted when Melkor returned to Arda, and ended completely when he destroyed the Lamps of the Valar.
