730

• Prince Amroth of Lórien trades with the Númenóreans from his seat in the port of Edhellond. The surrounding lands are known as the Country of Amroth.

The Sacking of Eregion

Sauron established Mordor as his dominion, a land ruled wholely by his dark will.

1000

• Sauron takes notice of the quickly growing power and influence of Númenor. He starts to make his stronghold in Mordor to challenge the might of the island nation, and begins building the black tower of Barad-dûr.

• Tar-Aldarion dies, and the crown of Númenor passes to his daughter.

1200

• Sauron, disguised as fair Antheron the Lord of Gifts, arrives in Eriador. Though repulsed from Lindon by Gil-galad, he manages to earn the trust of the elf-smiths of Eregion over time.

1350

• Among those who learn the smithing arts of Antheron is the elf-maiden Narmeleth.

Celebrimbor was responsible for forging the Three Rings of the Elves

1600

• Having shed his fair guise, Sauron forges the One Ring at Mount Doom.

Imladris was founded at the end of the war with Sauron.

1697

• Elrond and Celebrimbor cannot stand against Sauron's amassed might. Celebrimbor is killed, Eregion is laid to waste, and Caras Gelebren falls. Durin III is forced to shut the Hollin Gate to protect Khazad-dûm against the onslaught of the Enemy. Elrond flees north and hides in a secluded vale in the mountains. There, he founds Imladris as a hidden refuge for Elves as they continue the war against Sauron.

1699

• Sauron claims most of Eriador from the Elves, although Lindon and Imladris remain out of his grasp.

1700

• Assailed by a massive navy sent by King Tar-Minastir, Eleventh King of Númenor, Sauron is forced to send his forces to the mouth of the Gwathló to stop the ambush. At the Battle of the Gwathló, he is utterly defeated, and barely escapes.

Following the War of the Elves and Sauron, Eregion was left in ruin.

With Imladris and the Ring of Power Vilya, Elrond rose to prominence during the Second Age.

1701

• Sauron retreats from Eriador and back to Mordor, his entire army gone to waste. Thus ends the War of the Elves and Sauron.
• The White Council forms as a direct response to the threat of Sauron. They decide that rather than re-establishing Eregion after its ruin, they will reinforce Imladris as the new major Elf stronghold against the Enemy.
• Gil-galad passes the ring Vilya to Elrond.

1795

• Durin III dies of old age.

1800

• Sauron once again looks East to recruit a new army, although this time he does it in secret to avoid the attentions of the Blue Wizards and the White Council. To counter the great threat of the island nation, he also spreads his influence onto Númenor itself, fomenting distrust and hatred among the island's inhabitants.

The Doom of Númenor

2221

• After hundreds of years of Sauron's influence, a shadow spreads over Númenor. There is rebellion and division among its people, and even its kings start to fall into greed and envy. Two opposing factions form on the island - the King's Men and the Faithful.

After Sauron claimed the Rings of Power, the Nazgûl were created from the kings of Men.

2251

• The Nazgûl, slaves to the Nine Rings, first appear.
• The rift between the King's Men and the Faithful of Númenor widens. The King's Men declare Elves to be envious of Númenor's power and should not be welcomed to the island any more. The Faithful retain that it was thanks to the Elves that the island's riches exists in the first place.

• Ar-Pharazôn in his mounting pride assails Valinor. The Valar beseech Ilúvatar for aid; Ar-Pharazôn's ships are sunk and the island of Númenor is cast into the sea, an event later known as the Downfall of Númenor. Elendil, Isildur, Anárion and the rest of the Faithful survive the cataclysm by escaping on seven ships. Sauron goes down with the island and loses his physical body, but his spirit returns to Mordor.

After the Downfall of Númenor, Elendil and his sons founded Gondor. Minas Anor was the seat of Anárion for about 100 years.

3320

• Elendil, Isildur and Anárion found the two kingdoms Arnor and Gondor. Minas Anor and Minas Ithil become sister cities, with Osgiliath in the middle spanning the Anduin river. The palantíri and Vandassari are divided between the kingdoms.

3321

• Isildur has Urcheneb and countless of his men and horses place the Orossar, the black oath-stone, on the Hill of Erech in the lands of the Men of the Mountains as a token to mark the escape of Númenor's sons from the Downfall of Númenor. It takes several days of wrestling to get the smooth stone to rest in the ground atop the hill. The oath-stone thereafter becomes known as the Stone of Erech.

King Rioc and the Men of the Mountains swore an oath on the Stone of Erech, and later went back on their word. For this, Isildur cursed them.

3400

• Sometime after the Battle of Tarlang's Neck, Isildur forms an alliance with the Men of the Mountains, and King Rioc swears an oath on the stone that his people would stand with Isildur's in his fight against Sauron, should he return. For this deed, Rioc would receive great stores of knowledge and power of Númenórean make, and would hold the eternal friendship of Gondor. The Gondorian soldiers Iarvund and Urcheneb, and the Men of the Mountains Britou and Bodúan all witness this event.

3415

• The Men of the Mountains start to worship Sauron in secret, thinking they would be rewarded with great power.

3420

• Isildur together with his soldiers Dorwë and Beriadar discover that the Gondorian fort of Garth Lotheg has been overtaken by Orcs worshipping Sauron. He then goes to the lands of the Men of the Mountains to entreat with King Rioc, expecting him to honor the oath he swore of the Stone of Erech years before. Rioc goes back on his word, however. He believes Sauron will win the war against Gondor, and will grant his people great power. Isildur then curses Rioc and his people to never rest until their oath can be fulfilled, never know the restful sleep of death, and have no days without the regret of their broken oath.

3429

• Sauron launches an attack on Gondor. He conquers Minas Ithil and burns its White Tree.

They are joined by Elves from Lórien and the Woodland Realm, the Longbeards of Khazad-dûm, and the Thíuda of Rhovanion, in addition to smaller contingents of the Hól-budlan and Wild Folk. They lay siege to the Black Gate on Dagorlad. The joint army is under the command of High King Gil-galad and Elendil the Tall of Númenor. Among the allies are Harthalín, Dernaith, Megoril, Thelaron, Hithgol, Prince Amroth, Prince Thranduil, Glorfindel, Elrond, Durin IV and Slégar the Crafty.
• Prince Amroth's father, King Amdír, is slain in the battle, and so is Prince Thranduil's father Oropher. Thelaron is captured by the Witch-king and brought to Barad-dûr for torment, and Hithgol is gravely wounded. (Quest:Instance: Into Darkness Falls a Star)

The One Ring was lost in the Gladden Fields.

1

• A watch is placed on Gorgoroth. The men of Gondor build many fortifications within Mordor, such as the towers at the Black Gate, the Shadowguard of Ost Daethir, and Durthand. The Thandrim are established to maintain a vigil on the evils of the dark land and keep them from passing outside Gorgoroth. (Quest:Chapter 1.2: The Cruel History of Durthang)
