Eru or Illuvatar (elvish)
He is the lord and master of all, created the Ainur,the Maiar and made them play songs witch gave each Ainur their own visions for they we're all made of one part of Eru's toughts. Most visions we're rather blurry and unclear but after each song they came to greater understanding.
One Ainur felt like changing the song to his will, this confused most of the Ainur and they slowly stopped playing Eru's music. Eru arised from his throne 3 times to stop this Ainur named Melkor.
Now Eru found that it was time to show the Ainur the result of their music. And out of the darkniss he brought forth Arda. Fiftheen of the Ainur went down to Arda,one of them was melkor (they were named valar from that point). They saw that it was dark and empty. But the music the they made had given them visions of the firstborn (elves) and how they should prepare the world for their arrival. One by one made what their vision showed them.
the Valar:
Manwë: King of the Valar
Ulmo: Lord of the waters
Aulë : Master of crafts, and maker of the Naugrim (Dwarf)

Estë: The gently and healer of hurts
