Summary
 | This SVG image contains embedded raster graphics.[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics. Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics ((FakeSVG)) is supposed to be used. See also ((TopoSVG)). |  |
| Description |
English: Tolkien's imagined prehistory of the Earth, where in ages past Elves, Dwarves and Ents lived. With each successive age, more of the original created perfection falls and fades. By the end of the Third Age and the War of the Ring, the Elves, Dwarves, Ents and other races are in the last stages of decline. With the destruction of the Ring, Sauron's evil is banished, and his Nazgul, Trolls, and Orcs are destroyed or scattered. In the Fourth and later ages, the world takes on its present composition and peoples. See for instance Kocher, Paul H. Master of Middle-Earth: The Achievement of J.R.R. Tolkien, 1974, Penguin Books, ISBN 0140038779, pages 8-15.
Tolkien discusses the Sixth Age in Letter 211 to Rhona Beare, 14 October 1958, last footnote, where he writes:
