Eru Iluvatar
Eru was transcendent, completely outside of and beyond the world. He first created a group of angelic beings, called in Elvish the "Ainur," and these holy spirits were co-actors in the creation of Arda through a holy music and chanting called the "Music of the Ainur." He is known also as "the All-Powerful", and he alone could create independent life, or reality, using the "Flame Imperishable".
The next thing he fashioned was Eä, the "World and All That Is", and Eä was in the Void (or "the Outside" as it was sometimes called). He then gave the Ainur the option to go into Eä and fashion it as they will. The Greatest Ainur who chose to do so were called the Valar, and they controlled the shaping of the Arda. They could not make life, however, as Aulë proves, who was able to give only shape to the Dwarves, while consciousness was given to them by Eru. Elves and mankind, however, came directly from Ilúvatar's thoughts, and are referred to as the "First" and "Second" Children of Ilúvatar (or Eruhini), respectively.
His worshippers hear from it at important moments, feeling their lives changed by the god. His wish is for them to remind the true nature of him, being the only true creator.
