First Age 1 (abbreviated to F.A. 1) is the 1st year of the Sun of the First Age of Middle-earth.
Notable events in this year include:
- The first rising of the Moon and Sun marks a new reckoning of time.[1]
- The Second Children of Ilúvatar, Men, awake in the far east in Hildorien.[2] Morgoth secretly leaves Angband, committing command of the war to Sauron, seeking to corrupt men.[3]
- Following grievous losses, Fingolfin's people complete the crossing of the Helcaraxë and arrive in the north-west of Middle-earth. Fingolfin marches across Dor Daedeloth and bangs on the gates of Angband; Morgoth remains hidden.[4]
- Battle of the Lammoth is fought and Argon is slain.[5]
