Fourth Age 220 (abbreviated to Fo.A. 220 or F.O.) is the 220th year of the Sun of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth. Unless otherwise stated, Tolkien Gateway follows Shire usage in Appendix B for reckoning Fourth Age years: Fourth Age 220 was also known as S.R. 1641 in Shire-reckoning.
Notable events in this year include:
Early
- A dark cult arises in Gondor connected to a person known only as Herumor.[1]
- A few Shipmen and a small vessel of the King's Ships mysteriously disappeared.[1]
April
- Berelach visited his father Borlas at Pen-arduin, telling him about the recent incident with the Shipmen, believing that they were unskilled and foolish; and as such, deserved their fate.[1]
Later
- Borlas quoted Berelach's tale to Saelon, only for Saelon to put suspicion on Berelach's story, leading to a discussion about the nature of evil.[1]
- The dark cult connected to Herumor is discovered and overthrown in Gondor.[2]
- About this time, Eldarion's reign as High King comes to an end.[3]
