From the very beginning of its history, it is clear that Middle-earth is brimming with great spiritual powers.

Concerning the origin and meaning of Tom Bombadil...

The disaster of the Gladden Fields stands as a most notorious event in the history of Middle-earth: a conspiracy of bad fortune and lingering Sauronic malice.
