The Battle of the Powers in Tolkien’s lore represents a defining clash between the Valar, the god-like beings of Middle-earth, and Melkor, the rebellious and powerful figure bent on spreading darkness. The Valar, who created and shaped the world under Eru Ilúvatar’s guidance, include powerful entities like Manwë, the King of the Winds, and Tulkas, the Wrestler. When Melkor captured and corrupted Elves into his twisted servants, creating the Orcs, the Valar waged war against him. This battle near Angband and Utumno marked a fierce struggle to liberate the Elves. Ultimately, Tulkas defeated Melkor, leading to his capture and imprisonment. However, the devastation from this conflict altered Middle-earth’s landscape, forming new mountains and rivers and shifting Elvish culture. Though defeated, Melkor’s lingering influence at Angband awaited his eventual return, foreshadowing future conflicts in Tolkien's universe.
