The Quenta Silmarillion (English: Tale of the Silmarils) is an epic legendarium of the Elder Days, preserved by the Faithful of Middle-Earth. It consists of twenty-four chapters, telling the history of Arda from the beginning of days to the voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath. Authorship is uncertain, though it is often falsely attributed to the loremaster Pengoloð of Gondolin.
