The Silmarillion

The Silmarillion is a collection of mythopoeic stories that chronicle the history of Middle-earth from its creation to the end of the First Age, focusing on the creation of the world, the rebellion of the dark lord Morgoth, and the epic struggle of the Elves to reclaim the Silmarils. It details the creation of the world by Eru Ilúvatar and the angelic beings (Valar and Maiar), the awakening of the Elves, and their subsequent conflict with Morgoth. The core of the narrative revolves around the theft of the Silmarils by Morgoth and the Elves' long war to recover them, a conflict that shapes the landscape and history of Middle-earth.
