The Sun and Moon are launched across the firmament and mark two important events in the history of Middle-earth. With the first moonrise, the people of Fingolfin enter Beleriand. With the first sunrise, Men awaken in Hildórien.
At the first rising of the Sun the Younger Children of Ilúvatar awoke in the land of Hildórien in the eastward regions of Middle-earth; but the first Sun arose in the West, and the opening eyes of Men were turned towards it, and their feet as they wandered over the Earth for the most part strayed that way.
