![]() When the Ainur made music, Melkor wove his strange thoughts into his song. Melkor weaves opposing Music by Ted Nasmith However, Melkor could not find the Flame, for it was not in the Void, but with Ilúvatar. His feelings grew rebellious against his creator, for he wished to create sentient beings to inhabit the Void and was dissatisfied by the fact that Ilúvatar had not done so.

His theft of the Silmarils and wars against Elves and Men encompassed much of the history of the First Age. Morgoth corrupted many of the Ainur to his service, fought the Valar, and marred Arda. He fell from glory when he disrupted the Music of the Ainur and defied the will of Ilúvatar. Morgoth, also known as Melkor, was the greatest of the Ainur. " And he descended upon Arda in power and majesty greater than any other of the Valar, as a mountain that wades in the sea and has its head above the clouds and is clad in ice and crowned with smoke and fire and the light of the eyes of Melkor was like a flame that withers with heat and pierces with a deadly cold." ― The Silmarillion, " Ainulindalë" This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made.
