- "For even if we under Eru have the power to return to Middle-earth and cast out Morgoth from the Kingdom of Arda, we cannot destroy all the evil that he has sown, nor seek out all his servants—unless we ravaged the whole of the Kingdom and made an end of all life therein; and that we may not do."

Arda Hastaina,[1] also called Arda Sahta,[2] Aþāraphelūn Dušamanūðān,[3] and Arda Marred, is the world as it is after the wars of the Valar and Melkor (before he was given the name Morgoth), and the dispersing of Melkor's fëa in the entire world.[4]
Etymology[]
Arda Hastaina is a Quenya name meaning "Arda Marred", consisting of the name Arda ("The Realm")[5] and the word hastaina ("marred").[1] Hastaina likely consists of the elements hasta-[1] ("to mar")[6] and -inā́[7] ("passive;[8] general passive participle;[7] aorist") from -i ("simplest aorist infinitive") and -nā́[7] ("adjective suffix;[9] passive participle, past aorist;[10] adjective").[11]
Arda Sahta is a Quenya name meaning "Arda Marred", consisting of the name Arda ("The Realm")[5] and the adjective[12] sahta ("marred").[2] It is possible that sahta is connected to the verb sak- ("to be hurt")[13] from the root SAK ("hurt, injury;[14] draw, pull")[15].[12]
Aþāraphelūn Dušamanūðān is a Valarin name meaning "Arda Marred", consisting of the name Aþāraphelūn ("appointed dwelling") and the word dušamanūðān ("marred").[3]
