Pre-1000 Pre-9582 Melkor sleeps in Utumno. Oromë hunts throughout Middle-earth. Melkor raises the Hithaeglir to hinder his efforts.
???? ???? About some time before the waking of the Elves, Aulë creates the 7 Fathers of the Dwarves and their 6 spouses. Ilúvatar adopts them and they are put to sleep.
1000 9582 The Valar hold council, for Yavanna and Oromë report that Melkor might rise once more in power. They discuss the Children of Ilúvatar. Varda begins to fashion new stars, and organize them and those already wrought into constellations, over the next fifty years.

???? ???? Spies of Melkor discover the Elves and afflict them. Possibly Orcs first created.

1086 10,406 Oromë returns to Valinor, and witnesses to his peers about the Children of Ilúvatar. Oromë returns to the Elves while the Valar consider his message.
1090 10,444 Valar make war on Melkor in the War for Sake of the Elves. The earth is shaken. The shores of Beleriand are formed and bays are created on the North. Over the next two years Melkor is defeated, and retreats into Utumno.
1092 10,531 The Siege of Utumno begins. North is desolated and the Sea widened.

1100 10,540 Morgoth is brought back to Valinor, judged and cast into Mandos.
1101 10,550 Valar make council about the protection of Eruhíni and decide to bring them to Valinor. Oromë Invites the Elves.
1102 10,559 Elves are unwilling so Oromë invites the three Elven ambassadors, Ingwë, Finwë and Elwë to come to Valinor.
