The fictional cosmology of J. R. R. Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien's Tolkien's legendarium, legendarium combines aspects of Christian theology and metaphysics with pre-modern cosmological concepts in the flat Earth paradigm, along with the modern spherical Earth view of the Solar System. The created world, ''Eä'', includes the planet Arda, corresponding to the Earth. It is created flat, with the dwelling of the godlike Valar at its centre. When this is marred by the evil Vala Melkor, the world is reshaped, losing its perfect symmetry, and the Valar move to Valinor, but the Elves can still sail there from Middle-earth. When Men in Middle-earth, Men try to go there, hoping for immortality, Valinor and its continent of Aman are removed from Arda, which is reshaped as a round world. Scholars have compared the implied cosmology with that of Tolkien's religion, Catholic Church, Catholicism, and of medieval poetry such as ''Pearl (poem), Pearl'' or Dante Alighieri, Dante's ''Paradiso (Dante), ...
