Ossë.

Falman.

Ossë served Ulmo and Ossë ruled over the vaves and the inner seas along the coasts of Middle-Earth. Ossë is married to Uinen. The House of Ossë and Uinen in Valmar would mostly be empty because Ossë would only dwell therein in Valmar when the Valar held counsel or he got tired of the noise of the waves upon his seas and shores.

Valian Years ( V.Y.) 0 - 3450.

V.Y 0 - 1500. Uncounted years filled with labouring had gone by in the timeless ages before the Gods decented into the world in year 0. But Melkor contested the overlordship of Manwë and strife were in the world. Manwë summoned help and among those who heard was Tulkas and he came to the aid. Before his face Melkor fled out into Eä.

1500 - 1900. Now the gods planned and schemed and ordered and for all the seeds Yavanna had planted Aulë made two great lamps Ormal and Illuin to lit the earth and these were set in 1900 upon Helkar and Ringil.

V.Y. 1900 - 3450. Now began the Spring of Arda, the Gods settled at Almaren and the world came to life, threes and beasts swollened the earth but Melkor saw it from the outside of the Wall of Things and grew hot and he heard it from his spies of whom Sauron was the chiefest and among the Gods. Manwë had called for a great feast and while the Gods were afterwards resting Melkor crept over the Wall and entered Arda in the North and assailed the Lamps and overthrew them and the blossom of the earth was checked.

V.Y. 3450 - V.Y. 3500 The Gods departed to Aman where Aulë deemed the plains of Valinor a good place to build their new home. A great labour now began for the Gods. In the V.Y.3500 came the two trees Silpion and Laurelin into being.

Now began the Valian Years of the Trees. ( V.Y.t ) and a new reckoning of time.

V.Y.t 0 - 1000 This was the Noontide of Valinor though Middle-earth was still in darkness and only Oromë and Yavanna came there at times and the stewardship of Middle-earth was partly neglected and Melkor ruled there with violence. Manwë took council in his heart and with Ilúvatar and summoned the gods and declared to them his thoughts and the gods decided to capture Melkor. The gods went to war and made Melkor captive ( Year 1100 ) and brought him to Valinor where he was doomed to serve 3 ages in the fastness of Mandos.

V.Y.t 1125 - 1132. The trail of the Elves arrived in Beleriand, Ulmo uprooted ( most of it ) the island Isle of Balar in the Bay of Balar with the aid of his servants which includes Ossë and Uinen, moved it to the shores and the Vanyar and Noldor embarked upon it and were then drawn across Belegaer to Aman.

V.Y.t 1132 - 1149 Ossë and his spouse Uinen often came to the shores of the Outer lands and there he befriended the Teleri and learned them sea-lore and music of the sea.

V.Y.t 1149 - 1150. When Ulmo returned for the Teleri it was a grief for Ossë for he was ill-pleased that the voices of the Elves should no more be heard in his domain. But some he persuaded to remain and of these were Cirdan the Lord and his people the Falathrim-Elves

V.Y.t.1151. Yet most of the Teleri now embarked upon the ferry but as they drew near the coasts of Aman and came to the Bay of Eldamar they begged Ulmo to stay there voyage for they heard the voice of Ossë their friend calling and he granted them their wish and anchored the isle and at his bidding Ossë rooted it to the foundation of the sea and it became afterwards known as Tol-Eressëa.

V.Y.t. 1161. After an age the Teleri at Tol-Eressëa began to long for the light of Aman and for seeing their Elvish friends and though Ossë did not like it he thought them the craft of ship-building and he brought them as parting gift strong-winged white swans to drag the ships and they made there home at Alqualondë.

V.Y.t.1496. Kinslaying at Alqualondë.
