The Vanyar are his favorite Elves, and they live with him and Varda on Mount Taniquetil. He wields a scepter of sapphire made for him by the Г‘oldor. ManwГ« dresses in blue robes and has blue eyes. After Morgoth's fall, ManwГ« cast him into the void. To hearten the Eldar, he had AulГ« fashion the Sun and the Moon, for he knew the rising of the Atani was coming soon, and sent Thorondor and the Eagles to watch them. He then caused Valinor to be hidden by way of the Shadowy Seas and the Enchanted Isles to prevent the Г‘oldor from returning. As such, he forbade the Г‘oldor from returning to Valinor once they left, and stated also that the Elves would receive no help from the Valar in their war against Morgoth. Soon thereafter, ManwГ« learned that the rebellious Noldor had attacked and slaughtered many of the Teleri. He then murdered the King of the Noldor, FinwГ«, stole the Silmarils, and incited FГ«anor's leaving Aman with most of the Noldor in rebellion. Soon thereafter, Melkor recruited the great spider Ungoliant and poisoned the Two Trees. Eventually, due to the rebellious actions of the Noldor prince FГ«anor, Melkor's lies were uncovered, but he escaped before he could be recaptured. He began to cleverly spread lies amongst the Г‘oldor, who soon grew to resent the Valar because of said lies.

He released Melkor from Mandos, whereupon Melkor began plotting the downfall of the Elves and the ruin of Aman's bliss.

But eventually Melkor was allowed to plead for pardon before ManwГ« again.ДЄs ManwГ« was completely free of evil, he was unable to comprehend it, leading him to believe Melkor's lies concerning his reformation. For the three Ages of Melkor's imprisonment, the Valar and the Elves lived in peace and happiness. He extended an invitation to the Elves to journey to Aman and live there amongst the Valar. They succeeded, and Melkor was imprisoned in the Halls of Mandos. Eventually, the Elves awoke in Middle-earth, and ManwГ« at last went with the other Valar to subdue Melkor. But Melkor destroyed the lamps, and the Valar retreated to the continent of Aman, which they heavily fortified. He oversaw all of the Valar's early attempts to order Arda, but was unable to stop Melkor's rampages until the Vala Tulkas came to Arda to assist his brethren.ДЄfterwards, the Valar under ManwГ« made an abode on Middle-earth in the Isle of Almaren and constructed the two Lamps of the Valar to provide light to the world. ManwГ« was a kind, compassionate ruler, unconcerned with his own power. When Arda was formed, ManwГ« was appointed Ruler of Arda, hence his most common title, the Elder King. When Melkor created the discord in the Music of the Ainur, the Second Theme of Eru that rose to counter the discord used ManwГ« as its chief instrument. ManwГ« was (with Melkor) the eldest of the Ainur, and the one that best understood the will of Eru.
