the return of Sorrow the drowning of numeral the war of the last Alliance there are so many iconic events that happened in the second age of Middle Earth and really these are events with putting together hello and welcome to the Broken Sword today we are looking at the complete timeline of the second age of Middle Earth build me alone worthy of the Lord with the second age being such an important thing of discussion at the moment with both Amazon's up-and-coming the rings of power TV show as well as the announcement of the fall of numeral book coming out later this year I thought now would be a great time to revisit the second age of Middle Earth in its entirety and give you a brief timeline of some of the key events through those years but I will emphasize here I will only be talking about any of these points briefly as this video is more focused on the entire timeline but if there are any of these moments that you would like a video on in way more detail then please just let me know that down in the comments below and I will get working on those for you adding them onto my list of to do ideas which is just always ever growing but I'm always happy to add to it so the age began after the forces of good first managed to overthrow the terror of morgoth his followers were scattered but not all were gone for goods we will be looking at the Lord of the Rings appendix B for our timeline as we take you through all of the key events from the second age of Middle Earth and so it is with appendix B that we will also start by looking at its description of things as the first age came to an end these were the dark years for men of Middle Earth but the years of the glory of numenor of events in Middle Earth the records are few and brief and their dates are often uncertain in the beginning of this age many of the High Elves still remained most of these dwelt in Linden west of the Avid Lewin but before the building of the barodor many of the cindar passed Eastward and some established Realms in the forests far away where their people were mostly Sylvan elves King in the north of the Greenwood the great was one of these in Linden North of the Loon dwalt gilgalat last heir of the kings of the noldor in Exile he was acknowledged as High King Of The Elves of the West in Linden south of the Loon dwelt for a Time helleborg Kinsmen of tingle his wife was Galadriel greatest of Alvin women she was Sister of finrod feligund friend of men once king of nargothwand who gave his life to save Baron son of barahir later some of the noldor went to Aragon upon the west of the Misty Mountains and here to the west gate of Moria this they did because they learned that mithwell had been discovered in morya the noodle were great Craftsmen and less unfriendly to the dwarves than the cinder but the friendship that grew up between the people of jurin and the Alvin Smiths of Aragon was the closest that there has ever been between the two races calabrimbo was the Lord of aragya and the greatest of their Craftsmen he was descended from feyenal so now we are set up with how Middle Earth is looking let's get into our timeline starting of course with the first year of the second age Year One foundation of the gray Havens and of linden the gray Havens were built in the newly formed Gulf of loon where the Alda sailed the straight road but most of them were unwilling at first forsake the lands they fought in and preferred to linger there this was the foundation of Linden gilglad was the last heir of the kings of the noldor in Exile and acknowledged as High King Of The Elves of the West and so he was king of linden year 32 the Edina reached the land that will become known as numenor after it was raised from the Great Sea by the Valar Circa year 40. the dwarves from nogrod and balagost left their destroyed cities and homes in the Blue Mountains in aridloon to go to kazadum and from this their numbers swell and their wealth and power increase then we have a break until year 442. alvastar miniature son of aarendel and twin brother of alvond dies in this year aged 500. he was the lord of the Adine and the first king of numenor year Circa 500. Saron returns from his self-isolation and hiding in the East and begins to stir again in Middle Earth after believing the Valar would have now forgotten about Middle Earth and so would no longer be aware of his plans year 521 birth in numeral of silmarian daughter of tar elendil the fourth king of numinal she would marry ellatan of andunier and they would have a son valandil who would become the first Lord of andunier which was an important city and Port of numenor she would also pass down the Ring of barahir to her son the same ring that would eventually work its way through the ages to Aragorn Sun of arathon year 600 the first ships of the numenoreans leave their land appearing off the coasts of Middle Earth First establishing contact with them year 750. the realm of Aragon is founded by the naldor it is located near the edge of Moria under the shadow of the Misty Mountains this realm was the only lasting one of the noldor not including Linden yet Circa 1000 Sauron still hiding away despite the likes of gilglad sent in the growing darkness is becoming alarmed by The Growing Power of the numenoreans therefore he chooses Mordor as the land to make into a stronghold and his base and so here he begins the construction of barador near to Mount Doom Year 1075. back to numeral and tar and Kali Mae becomes the first ruling queen of numenor she would rule for over 205 years making her the second and longest ruler after the first king of numenor Alamos year 1200. Sauron becomes determined to seduce the Elder and so disguises himself as the fair and pure anatar the Lord of gifts however gilgalat completely refuses to treat with him as he can sense something is just not right with him so will not trust him but sarwan did have more joy with the Smiths of Aragon and he wins them over also at this time the numenoreans started to make permanent Havens in Middle Earth year Circa 1500. the Alvin Smith's after being instructed by Sauron as anatar managed to reach the height of their skill anatar then tells them if they forged these rings of power it will help preserve their new powers and skills and so they begin the forging of the Rings of power year Circa 1590. the three rings are completed under the leadership of calabrimbo and the guaif emiodine in a region year Circa 1600s Sauron goes off in secret and forges his own ring in a Roger in the one ring to rule them all he transfers a great deal of his own power into this ring so that it will be more powerful than all others that came before it he also completes his Tower of barador with the help of the power of his new ring however Kelly brimble had also forged his own three-rings for the elves and these ones are ones that Sauron had not been able to taint and so when Sauron put on his one ring the elves became aware of his true nature and realized they had been betrayed but from this point they hid their rings from Sauron after he had demanded the owls return them to him for without his knowledge or his abilities they could not have existed the elves of course refused year 1693. it had become unavoidable the war of the elves and Sauron begins this will become the Great War Between the forces of Sauron and the elves in ariador along with all of their allies year 1695 only two years on and sauron's forces begin their invasion of Ariel at this time gilgalad sends a force commanded by alwand to reinforce a region while also sending wood to numenor asking for their assistance year 1697. two more years on and the region has been laid to waste Austin edel the capital city of Aragon balls with calibrombo himself leading a last desperate defense on the steps of the House of the Maya day kalibumbo is shot multiple times with orc arrows and some even say that Sauron used calabrimbo's body as a banner as he turned to face albon's host alvond Retreats with the remnants of the noldor and founds The Refuge of imladris also known as Rivendell the dwarves of kazadum helped some Escape as well but they did more than simply just allow the owls to pass through their realm they went out against sauron's armies along with a force of the galadrim under amroth the king of Lorien once this battle was over the gates of kazadum was shut and they remained shut until the Fellowship of the Ring managed to reopen them thousands of years later year 1699 sauron's power becomes too much for the elves to withstand and he overruns ariador year 1700 the king of numenor tar Minister

forced back out of the Westlands Sauron runs back to Mordor with barely a fraction of his Force remaining the Westlands have peace for a long while ariador may have been saved but the realm of a
