Mallor's reign saw events that would have a huge impact on [[Middle-earth]]'s history, but whose importance wasn't fully recognized at the time. The first of these was the arrival across the [[Misty Mountains]] of a strange race of beings: similar to [[Men]], but far shorter and with hairy, bootless feet.

The second historic event was the descent of a strange shadow on Greenwood the Great.

Mallor's reign coincided with other events that would have a huge impact on [[Middle-earth]]'s history, but whose importance weren't fully recognized at the time, such as the formation of the [[White Council]], and the return of [[Sauron]] as a mysterious shadow that fell over [[Mirkwood]]. It was also the arrival ({{TA|1050}}) from across the [[Misty Mountains]] of a strange race of beings: similar to Men, but far shorter and with hairy, bootless feet.

It was also during Mallor's reign that the [[Istari]] - the [[Wizards]] - arrived in the north of Middle-earth, soon after the shadow had fallen on [[Greenwood the Great]]. At this time, though, even the Wise did not suspect that it might be Sauron returned.
