(Redirected from SA 500)
Second Age 500 (abbreviated to S.A. 500) is the 500th year of the Sun of the Second Age of Middle-earth.
Notable events in this year include:
- About this time, Sauron begins to stir again in the East of Middle-earth.[1][note 1] This evil is soon perceived by the Elves and the remnants of the Edain in Middle-earth, but they remain unaware of the source of the evil.[2]
Notes
- ↑ In Gil-galad's letter to Tar-Meneldur (in "Aldarion and Erendis"), Gil-galad states, "A new shadow arises in the East. It is not tyranny of evil Men, as your son believes; but a servant of Morgoth is stirring, and evil things wake again."
