Arvegil145 has just left Hobbiton.
There's a ton of references from various sources to the First Age beginning with the Awakening of the Elves, and (I believe) only one or two references to the First Age beginning with the forming of Arda (I think? or else some other cosmically important event - I'm not sure which).

However, there isn't a single reference anywhere to the First Age being defined as starting from the first rising of the Sun (in the classical cosmology - i.e. flat world and such).



P.S. Welcome Ar-Zigur! I'm IvarTheBoneless from TG, good to have you here.
