	==History==		==History==
−	In the ~~mists of time~~, ~~long before~~ the ~~awakening~~ of [[~~Elves]] or [[Men~~]], the ~~[[Valar]] dwelt east~~ of ~~the Sea in~~ [[~~Middle-earth~~]]. This was ~~a time called the~~ [[~~Spring of Arda~~]]~~, when~~ [[~~Arda~~]] ~~was lit by~~ the ~~two Lamps of~~ the Valar, and Almaren ~~lay in the central regions of the World, where the light of the two Lamps mingled~~.	+	In the 1,500th Valian year since the coming of many of the [[Valar]] to Arda, another Vala came to the aid of [[Manwë]]. This was [[Tulkas]] the Strong who caused [[Melkor]] to abandon Middle-earth.<ref name="Annal">{{MR\|P2a}}</ref> In the peace that followed the Valar were able to bring order to the seas and lands,<ref>{{S\|Days}}</ref> and it may have been that Almaren was created at that time.

−	~~Almaren was covered with grass, and~~ the ~~Valar had a dwelling there, which presumably constituted a city~~, ~~or at least a town. In the history of~~ the ~~Valar~~, ~~Almaren was known as the place where~~ [[~~Tulkas~~]] ~~wed~~ [[~~Nessa~~]].	+	By the Valian year 1,900 [[Aulë]] had wrought the [[Two Lamps]], [[Illuin]] and [[Ormal]], and [[Varda]] had given them hallowed fire that lit Arda and brought living things to life. Almaren certainly did exist by this time, for being between the Two Lamps all things grew richest and fairest upon the island and the Valar made their dwelling there (though they were often abroad upon their business).

−	~~Of much greater importance~~, ~~though, is~~ the ~~fact that Almaren~~ was the ~~site~~ of the ~~Valar's first major defeat at the hands of~~ [[~~Morgoth\|Melkor~~]]~~: he loosed his forces secretly from his northern fortress~~ of [[Utumno]] ~~(then newly delved)~~. ~~Both~~ the ~~Lamps~~ of ~~the Valar were thrown down and destroyed~~, ~~and Almaren lay in ruins. Tulkas gave chase~~, ~~but~~ Melkor ~~escaped into the dungeons of Utumno~~.	+	When at last the Valar were content Manwë ordained a great feast upon the isle in the Valian year 3,400. At the feast Tulkas wed Nessa and then slept, for he was weary with his labors in the ordering of Arda. Seeing his chance, Melkor and his host surmounted the [[Walls of Night]] and began the delving of [[Utumno]] in the north. His coming marred the [[Spring of Arda]], turning many living things sick, rotted, or corrupted. The Valar then knew that Melkor was returned but did not know his hiding-place.

−	~~After this,~~ the ~~[[Valar]] left [[Middle-earth]]~~ and ~~seldom returned~~. ~~They founded a new land far away to~~ the ~~west, in [[Aman]], that they called [[Valinor]]; a land lit by~~ the ~~fabled light~~ of the ~~[[Two Trees of Valinor\|Two Trees]]~~.	+	In the year 3,450 Melkor came forth in war and cast down the Two Lamps. Their destruction broke the lands and roiled the seas. The dwelling of the Valar upon Almaren was utterly destroyed and the island and the Great Lake disappeared in the tumult.<ref name="Annal"/>
