First Age 486 (abbreviated to F.A. 486) is the 486th year of the Sun of the First Age of Middle-earth.
Notable events in this year include:

* Beleg is unable to persuade Túrin to come with him, despite that he has been pardoned by Thingol. Beleg leaves to return to Doriath. 
* Increasing numbers of orcs enter Brethil; the Gaurwaith are forced southwards down the old South Road.
* The Outlaws encounter the petty-dwarf Mîm who offers them his home Amon Rûdh in return for his life. It is known as Bar-en-Danwedh, the House of Ransom.
