’Valaquenta’

Second  telling in the Silmarillion sagas. Not part of the book, but bound in it; setting out the foundations of middle earth cosmos. Its genesis. This second expands the ideas of the first, developing and explaining the migration into Middle Earth, Ea, or Ardagh, of some of the Ainur, which then become Vala. The 'Valar', hence the title 'Valaquenta'. It prepares the audience for the heart of the book, 'Quenta Silmarillion' .
