Second Age
History
- The Second Age began after the banishment of Morgoth into the Void by the Lords of the West, led by Eönwë, the Herald of Manwë.
- It lasted for 3441 years and ended with the downfall of Sauron, when he was defeated by The Last Alliance of Elves and Men following the downfall of Númenor.
- This Age was characterized by the rise (eventually with increased insolence) of Númenor, the rise of Sauron in Middle-earth, the creation of the Ringwraiths, and the early wars of the Rings between Sauron and the Elves.
