The '''Valar''' ([[Quenya]] "the Powers", Singular '''Vala''') are the most powerful of the Ainur that entered into Eä. At the beginning there were fifteen of them. But the Vala [[Melkor]] became corrupted and worked against the others, and was cast out of their ranks; he was later known as [[Morgoth]]. The remaining fourteen Valar are divided equally into seven male "Lords of the Valar" and seven female "Queens of the Valar"; the female Valar are also called '''Valier''' (Singular '''Valië''').
