The deity of The Lord of the Rings, Eru Ilúvatar, is a mysterious being never mentioned in Peter Jackson's trilogy, though his presence is implied.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The world of Lord of the Rings includes a deep and complex lore, with the creation of Tolkien's entire fictional universe attributed to a supreme being—Eru Ilúvatar. Though this character is never mentioned by name in Tolkien's original novels, his existence is alluded to throughout.

Eru Ilúvatar is the only possessor of the Secret Flame, or Flame Imperishable, allowing him to breathe life into things. This is how he created the various demi-gods and angel-like beings who served under him, as well as the Children of Eru Ilúvatar , his adoptive children , and all other living creatures in Middle-earth .

The Valar were predominantly responsible for forming Arda and its continents . Among them was the Vala Melkor, who desired the power of the Flame Imperishable. Since this desire contradicted the will of Ilúvatar, Melkor's song was dissonant with that of the other Ainur, so his song sewed evil into the world. Melkor would eventually become the first Dark Lord or Arda, Morgoth.

This begs the question—where did Orcs, Balrogs, dragons, and other evil beings of Middle-earth come from? When Morgoth came to Middle-earth, he was enraged by his failure to obtain the Flame Imperishable. He greatly desired the power to create life and felt this opportunity was being selfishly robbed of him. So, he did the next best thing—he took the life Ilúvatar had already created and corrupted it to be something of his own.
