Elder Days

Elder Days

In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Elder Days are the first Ages of Middle-earth.

During the Second and Third Age, the term referred to the First Age and before, but in the Fourth Age the term began to be applied to all three ages which came before: a time before the dominance of Men and the dwindling of the Elves and other races.
