Spirits of Arda

The Spirits of  Arda are an enigmatic race born in the deepness of the creation as living embodyments of Ambar.They are sometimes errantly considered Maiar but they never were servants of any greater power and many even have never heard of Eru their creator for they only care for the world of Arda herself and know little of the timeless halls.However most scholars agree that the Spirits of Arda might be Ainur of some sort and related to the Spirits of the Ainulindale or somehow were awakened or brought to life by Eru with the World itself.
