Darkening of Valinor

The Darkening of Valinor was a broad event that occurred at the end of the Years of the Trees, which was caused by the destruction of the Two Trees of Valinor, by Morgoth and Ungoliant in YT 1495. The following fifty Valian years between the Darkening and the first rising of the Sun in FA 1 was known also as the Long Night.
==History==
The Darkening of Valinor refers chiefly to the destruction of the Two Trees of Valinor, Telperion and Laurelin, by Melkor and Ungoliant. The event also included the murder of Finwë, High King of the Ñoldor, at Formenos, and Melkor's taking of the Silmarils from the possession of Fëanor. This all brought about the exile of the Ñoldorin Elves from Valinor, the creation and first risings of the Sun and Moon to light the world, and the Awakening of Men far away in Hildórien. It was during this time that Melkor was named Morgoth by Fëanor and escaped to his stronghold at Angband, where he would remain for the rest of the First Age.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch. VIII: "Of the Darkening of Valinor"
J.R.R. Tolkien's earliest full telling of this event was "The Theft of Melko and the Darkening of Valinor", which is given in The Book of Lost Tales Part One.
