Summary
DescriptionArda in the First Age.svg
English: Arda in the First Age of Tolkien's legendarium. The world is a flat disc. With the loss of the light of the Two Trees, the Moon and Sun are created, orbiting the world. The Valar live in Valinor, on Aman, across the sea from Middle-earth. Elves live in Beleriand on the west of Middle-earth. The outlines of the continents are purely schematic.

InfoField
The SVG code is valid.
This world map was created with Inkscape.
This world map uses embedded text that can be easily translated using a text editor.
This SVG world map contains embedded raster graphics.[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics. Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.
