Though I could give details of Before the Creation of Eä, Creation of Arda, Years of the Lamps, Years of the Trees and Years of the Sun, frankly anyone but the Valar would probably not know of these truly ancient times, so are not relevant to players.

This is the first of three Timelines, the ancient First Age. It is the only one of the three ages that does not use a short-hand descriptior to describe it (such as SA for Second Age or TA for Third Age), and should be considered truly ancient history that even Lore-Keepers are unlikely to know much about.

You can find the timeline here complete with links to explain some of the terms.
