Fall of the Two Lamps

While Tulkas slept and the Valar reveled in their celebration of Arda. Melkor saw the opportunity to bring down the Two Lamps. Melkor marched to war and met little resistance. Melkor and his armies destroyed the Two Lamps and the result was catastrophic. The world would be forever changed and the Valar would have to depart Almaren in favor of a new home in Aman.

The world was then darkened and Melkor held the continents hostage under his tyrannical rule. He continued to breed monsters and commit horrors upon the planet of Arda.
