== Lastar Sarnim (Man)==

Full name was Lastar Sarnim; arguably the most powerful mage of all the ages, he certainly had the greatest influence on history.

Lastar was born to a Half-Elf Sylvan woman and Eorand, a man. (1st Age History)

500-520E

Lastar travels the lands uniting Elves, Dwarves and Men. (1st Age History)

Elves enter the battle under Lastar's command and use their magical gems against [[Orcus]]' army. (1st Age History)

Lastar gives the newly formed [[rings]] (from the Dwarven rings and the Elven gems) elemental powers. (1st Age History)

560E

Dwarves, Elves and Men, led by Lastar and [[Bavarik]], unite to defeat [[Demogorgon]]. By attacking along an entire front from the Balem Lakes in the south to [[Minas Morgul]] in the north, they drive [[Demogorgon]]’s forces back. The evil fled, hiding in old caves, dark forests and deep marshes. The battle mainly takes place around [[Minas Maedus]] weakening the fortress further. (1st Age History)

561E

The 1st Council of [[Sutur]] meets and discusses the war against [[Dispater]]. The members are as follows:

Men: Lastar, [[Bavarik]], [[Gundleus]]

Dwarves: [[Balem]], [[Dor]], [[Hamar]], [[Zem]], [[Ishtur]], [[Findor]], [[Maedus]]

Elves: [[Gelmir]], [[Aerandir]], [[Nenya]], [[Elwe]]

Gnomes: [[Unglak]], [[Yagrik]] and [[Ichshoos]].

(1st Age History)

562E

Lastar discovers [[Zundar]] and tells [[Gelmir]] where it is but not to disturb [[Balem]]’s treasure. Lastar creates the Pentogram Gates each leading to a Minas or to his tower at [[Sutur]]. (1st Age History)

563E

Lastar and the great Dwarven Lords meet at the hidden hall of [[Zundar]] to discuss the destruction of [[Dispater]]. Other than [[Balem]], who owns [[Zundar]], the following Dwarven Kings are led blindfold to its deep halls: [[Dor]], [[Hamar]], [[Zem]], [[Ishtur]], [[Findor]] and [[Maedus]].
Lastar creates the Palantirs so that his armies would not be surprised again. As Lastar retakes the land, they are placed as follows: [[Minas Tiris]], [[Minas Morgul]], [[Minas Maedus]], [[Minas Emras]], [[Minas Aarda]], [[Minas Olga]] and [[Sutur]].
[[Balem]], using [[Orodruin]]’s knowledge and [[Ishtur]]’s Ring of Fire, creates a circlet of Adamantite. Lastar adds a single point holding a diamond and gives it the power of light. (1st Age History)

564E

With the power of [[Balem]]’s Crown proved, Lastar makes similar devices with the aid of [[Orodruin]]’s folk and all of the Rings. At councils held in [[Sutur]], Lastar gives a part of this new Crown to each of the Kings fighting [[Dispater]].
[[Balem]] – Crown of Light, [[Findor]] – 2nd Piece, [[Maedus]] – 3rd Piece, [[Gelmir]] – 4th Piece, [[Nenya]] – 5th Piece, [[Gundleus]] – 6th Piece. (1st Age History)

565E

Those sieged at [[Minas Olga]] make a desperate attempt to free themselves. Many of [[Findor]]’s House die in the attempt. [[Findor]] himself dies just as the relief forces arrive. Lastar changes the course of the battle by arriving from [[Numenorea]] with a force of Elves and Men. Despite the death of [[Aerandir]] and [[Nenya]], [[Dispater]] is forced to retreat. Both the 5th Crown of Kings, which [[Nenya]] had worn, and the 2nd, worn by [[Findor]], are delivered to Lastar. (1st Age History)

566E

[[Bavarik]] leads a large army of Men that he had spent his time mustering since the fall of [[Demogorgon]]. This army travels south, setting [[Sutur]] free and pursuing [[Dispater]]’s army across the plains of [[Alon]]. However, his King and friend [[Gundleus]] perishes at [[Alon]]. [[Gundleus]]’ Crown is taken to Lastar.
Pincered by Lastar’s army in the west, [[Bavarik]]’s army in the north and the combined dwarven forces of [[Hamar]], [[Balem]] and [[Maedus]] in the east, [[Dispater]] is defeated at [[Minas Aarda]], his last stronghold. [[Gelmir]] and [[Maedus]] both die at the foot of the Minas trying to destroy [[Dispater]] before he enters the fortress. [[Gelmir]]’s son [[Gillire]] leaves the battle with his father’s body and [[Maedus]] is returned to Fangor Rodrus; both Kings leave their Crowns in Lastar’s care. (1st Age History)

567E

The first attack on [[Minas Aarda]] comes from [[Hama Las]] but is poorly led and causes [[Balem]] to lose his life. The dwarves take the Crown of Light to Lastar.
All Kings, except [[Unglak]] King of the Gnomes, had fallen. Lastar knows [[Dispater]] will have to be defeated on both the Prime and his home Plane. Therefore, he decides to use the [[Rings]] to create a 7th Crown and forge all the [[Crowns]] together into one powerful artefact – The Crown of Light. (1st Age History)

568E

With the use of the Crown of Light, Lastar and [[Bavarik]] defeat [[Dispater]] in [[Minas Aarda]]. (1st Age History)

570E

Realising that [[Dispater]] would be even stronger on his own plane, Lastar builds another powerful artefact to help him defeat the Devil. The [[Sarnim Stone]] was a gem that [[Unglak]]’s father had discovered at the beginning of time. Using the [[Crowns]] and the [[Rings]], and with the aid of [[Orodruin]]’s folk and his God, Anubis, Lastar gives the [[Sarnim Stone]] many magical powers. The Gem was born!!! To bear the Stone, Lastar makes a great staff in mockery of the Wand of Orcus. Lastar and [[Bavarik]] travel to the Abyss using the Pentogram at [[Zundar]]. Lastar uses all his combined powers, including the [[Rings]], Staff and [[Sarnim Stone]] and the Wand of Orcus to kill [[Dispater]]. [[Bavarik]] returns to the Prime and tolls of Lastar’s glory. Lastar knows he cannot take artefacts with him to Anubis’ Divine House so, with the Wand of Orcus, he shatters the Sarnim Stone, breaks the Staff, separates the [[Crowns]] and scatters the [[Rings]].(1st Age History)
