The First Age is a period of time in Middle-earth lasting about 580 years. It begins with the rising of the Sun and Moon after the deaths of the Two Trees of Valinor, and ends with Morgoth's downfall. The First Age is characterized by the War of the Jewels, in which Fëanor and his sons fight and kill anything and anyone who gets in the way of their regaining their precious Silmarils.
Events of the First Age are chronicled in The Silmarillion.
