There are several passable guides that have been published (in addition to the index/glossary at the end of the book). They all have flaws, so I'm not inclined to recommend any in particular.
There is an on-line wiki, which I cannot vouch for in any way. It does have a First Age timeline (beginning with the first rising of the sun) that might be helpful.

Thank you! The timeline is actually very helpful for keeping at least the basic stuff straight. I appreciate it
