Ëala

The Ëalar are immortal beings from the Timeless Halls.They were created by Illuvatar to serve him with the creation of eä.Some of the Ëalar entered Arda and took shapes or Fánar, these are known the the powerful Valar and the less powerful Maiar, their servants.Other Ëalar preferred to stay within the timesless halls or dwell in the Void, some of these entered Arda at a later time and did not serve the Valar and were thus not considered Maiar, among these was Ungolianth.It is unknown if the Spirits of Arda were also Ëalar or yet of different origin.

Classes among the Ëalar:

 * Spirits of the Timeless Halls
 * Demons of the Void
 * Valar and Maiar
 * fallen Maiar or Umaiar
 * possibly the spirits of Arda
