Third Age

The Third Age is the third stage that began from the first downfall of Sauron, to the second.

It lasted for 3021 years, until Sauron was again defeated, this time finally, when his Ruling Ring was destroyed. This was a gamble for the Wise because they preserved the Free Peoples and destroyed much evil. But then the last greatest of the Eldar remaining in Middle-earth left for the Uttermost West, and much good and beauty were lost to Middle-earth for ever. With the Last Riding of the Keepers the Fourth Age began.
