He has been existing eternally in the Timeless Halls and possesses the Flame Imperishable in his spirit which kindles existence from nothingness. Eru created the Ainur before anything else, whom he kindled with the Flame Imperishable. Each Ainu came from a part of his mind. The Ainur (singular Ainu) were divine spirits, the "Holy Ones". They were the first beings created by Ilúvatar, the "order" of the Valar and Maiar, made before Eä. Eä was conceived in the Music of the Ainur and then visualized in the beautiful Vision that Ilúvatar showed to the Ainur to see for themselves what they sang. The Vision showed a world sustained inside the void, but without being part of it, and developing life on its own. The Ainur desired all this to be real, and Ilúvatar brought this into actuality by saying Eä and sent His Flame Imperishable into the Void to burn at the heart of the World. Thus Eä was set amid the void. The Valar (sg. Vala) were the Powers of Arda who shaped and ruled the world. They lived on the Western continent of Aman. After singing the Great Music, the Ainur witnessed the Vision of Ilúvatar and the creation of Eä (the Universe). Then Valar were the greatest of the Ainur which then chose to enter Eä in order to shape Arda and prepare it it for the awakening of the Children of Ilúvatar, (Elves and Men); doing so required combating the evils of Melkor, who came to Arda to claim it as his own. As Ainur, the Valar were divine, immortal spirits who had no physical body and could remain invisible. Nonetheless, they took visible bodily forms after the manner of the bodies of Elves and Men. When not in bodily forms, the Valar were perceived by the Elves of Valinor as lights of different hues, which their eyes could not tolerate. The Maiar (plural for Maia) were those spirits which descended into Ëa to assist the Valar in the shaping of Arda, which was the Quenya name for the world as a whole. Arda was created within Eä by Eru Ilúvatar. It was then shaped by the Valar, with continental masses such as Middle-earth and Aman, and oceans, like Belegaer. The Maiar were of lesser power and majesty. Their number is unknown and few were named, and not all took visible shapes in Middle-earth. Morgoth, also known as Melkor, was the greatest of the Ainur. He fell from glory when he disrupted the Music of the Ainur and defied the will of Ilúvatar. Morgoth corrupted many of the Ainur to his service, fought the Valar, and marred Arda. His theft of the Silmarils and wars against Elves and Men encompassed much of the history of the late First Age. Eventually, Morgoth was bound in chains by the Valar and thrown into the Void, leaving the permanent damage his evils had done, and his former lieutenant Sauron, to trouble the world. Annatar (AKA Sauron) was once a Maia, a powerful spirit created to help the Valar shape the world. He was known as Mairon, meaning "the Admirable," and was skilled in craftsmanship. Mairon's virtue was his love for order, planning and coordination, disliking confusion and chaos. But his obsession with order gradually overshadowed his love for the other intelligent beings of Arda, who would benefit from his planning; it became the sole object of his will, the end in itself. He started admiring Melkor's power to realize his designs quickly and masterfully. Early on, already by the blissful Spring of Arda, he was ensnared by Melkor, becoming his spy on the isle of Almaren, the dwelling-place of the Valar. While Tulkas was asleep, Melkor ruined the Two Lamps, and when Almaren was also destroyed, the Valar moved to the Blessed Realm of Aman, still not perceiving Sauron's treachery. Soon Mairon left the Blessed Realm for Middle-earth, in a dark time where Melkor dominated limitlessly, and bent the knee before him as his greatest and most trusted servant..Thus he came to be known as Gorthaur by the Sindar of Beleriand and Sauron by others. Sauron initially was not as evil as Morgoth, as he was serving someone and not himself; and unlike Melkor, who wanted to unmake and corrupt the world, Sauron wished to rule it and do what he wanted with it. Mairon, desiring control, became Morgoth's most devoted servant and lieutenant. After Morgoth's defeat, Sauron escaped and, in the Second Age, began his own quest for dominion. Sauron was a master manipulator, using his ability to shapeshift and his fair guise as "Anatar, the Lord of Gifts" to trick the Elves and others. He deceived the Elves of Eregion, who under his guidance had created the Rings of Power, whilst he secretly forged the One Ring in Mount Doom. Thus Sauron became "the Lord of the Rings". Failing to corrupt the Elves, he assaulted the Westlands, beginning a period called the Dark Years, the first time he became known as the Dark Lord. )
