The First Age of the Children of Ilúvatar - Folder for scenes of events where the elves appear in the first age. "There is a belief that the term "First Age" refers to the period between the first rising of the Sun and Moon until the beginning of the Second Age. According to that definition, the 'proper' First Age lasted only c. 600 years, the smallest of all. However in The Peoples of Middle-earth, Tolkien mentioned that the First Age was the longest, signifying therefore that the term "First Age" encompasses at least the Years of the Trees as well." So, in our group, we will count first age as : A time from awakening of Elves in Quivienen till the fall of Melkor. As we said, this is folder for EVENTS. Main mistake at submiting is this: when you have one character that appear in all ages, you submit it to first age. Don't do it! :bulletblue: On work that contains portrait of one character, you need to submit it to one of four folders: "Vanyar", "Noldor". "Teleri", "Legolas"or "S. and S." example: http://lordshadowblade.deviantart.com/art/Luthien-Tinuviel-74968775?q=gallery:elves-of-tolkien/25211288&qo=33 :bulletblue: To THIS folder you can submit only events that happen in this age: example: http://edarlein.deviantart.com/art/Finrod-and-the-kindred-of-Beor-106772544?q=gallery:elves-of-tolkien/25211288&qo=25
