Battle of the Powers

War of the Powers
The War of the Powers was a massive conflict in Middle-Earth and Valinor after the Dark Lord Morgoth sought to claim Middle-Earth for his own. He built a massive fortress known as Utumno in the North of Middle-Earth, (at this time known as Arda) but not before the Valar knew of his evil crimes, such as corrupting Arda with his evil creatures and corrupting the hearts of all sentient creatures, but perhaps the crime which inspired the Valar to action was the creation of the Orcs. The Orcs spawned forth from the Earth like wolves and devoured whatever thing they came upon. Manwe and the rest of the Valar could stand this no longer, since Eru couldn't bear to see his children be tortured by the dark powers and so the Valar came to Arda in physical form and destroyed Utumno, and one of the Valar battled Morgoth in combat, and finally the smith of the Valar bound Morgoth with a great chain and imprisoned him in that which not even the Valar can escape. This was the end of the War, although in later times even the Valar would be decieved by him and Manwe would release the Dark Lord back into the world.
