Fourth Age 220
From Tolkien Gateway
(Redirected from First Age 220)
Fourth Age 220 (abbreviated to Fo.A. 220 or F.O.) is the 220th year of the Sun of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth. Unless otherwise stated, Tolkien Gateway follows Shire usage in Appendix B for reckoning Fourth Age years: Fourth Age 220 was also known as S.R. 1641 in Shire-reckoning.
Notable events in this year include:
Early[edit | edit source]
- A dark cult arises in Gondor connected to a person known only as Herumor.[1]
- A few Shipmen and a small vessel of the King's Ships mysteriously disappeared.[1]
April[edit | edit source]
- Berelach visited his father Borlas at Pen-arduin, telling him about the recent incident with the Shipmen, believing that they were unskilled and foolish; and as such, deserved their fate.[1]
Later[edit | edit source]
- Borlas quoted Berelach's tale to Saelon, only for Saelon to put suspicion on Berelach's story, leading to a discussion about the nature of evil.[1]
- The dark cult connected to Herumor is discovered and overthrown in Gondor.[2]
- About this time, Eldarion's reign as High King comes to an end.[3]
