Awakening of Men

The Awakening of Men was the creation of mankind by Eru Ilúvatar.
== History ==
Men, created by Eru Ilúvatar, awoke in the easterly land of Hildórien which was a land southeast of Cuiviénen,The Atlas of Middle-earth, The First Age, The Elder Days, "Introduction" at the first rising of the first Sun, at the time when the Elves of the Ñoldor were returning from Valinor to Middle-earth.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XIII: "Of the Return of the Noldor" Men were befriended by the Dark Elves, of which there were few, but were also approached by Morgoth. The Men were divided into many different groups. Two were seen in the First Age: the Edain and the Easterlings, also known as the Swarthy Men.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XII: "Of Men"
When the Elves had awakened, Middle-earth was still lit only by stars, and Elves had no fear of night, wherefore Oromë called them the People of the Stars or Eldar.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter III: "Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor" However, Men awoke when the Sun first arose in the heavens, and the Elves therefore called them Children of the Sun, and "Night-fearers".
By some accounts, Melkor's vassal, Sauron, came among the first Men during or after the captivity of Melkor and corrupted them.The Nature of Middle-earth, Part One: Time and Ageing, VI: "The Awaking of the Quendi", I Preliminary discussion, pg. 35The Nature of Middle-earth, Part One: Time and Ageing, VI: "The Awaking of the Quendi", II Note on Angband and Utumno, pg. 38
According to some legends of the Edain, it was Melkor himself who found Men while they were still in Hildórien, seeking their allegiance, and converted them away from Eru, convincing them that they had been made mortal in divine punishment. However, mortality was in fact a Gift of Ilúvatar to Men, not a punishment. To escape the evil of Morgoth and his followers, the Atanatári were the first to flee Hildórien, travelling west and eventually coming to Beleriand.
