    The Age of the Trees

    This is a very sketchy Timeline. Suggestions are welcome. The Years in this timeline, unless explicitly mentioned, are in Tree Years: 1 Year of the Trees corresponds to some 10 Years of the Sun (the exact number is in _Morgoth's Ring_)

    Some of the dates are shown in intervals, for example 1120 ± 61. This means that I've run a Monte-Carlo simulation with the Middle-earth data, and this is the 95% confidence interval. In other words: just my guess :-)
