Maiar

The Maiar (Quenya, singular Maia) were spirits that helped shaped the world after the Ainur helped Ilúvatar create it. Certain Ainur, the Valar, were sent into the world to finish the details of shaping the world. The Maiar were there helpers.

At the end of the Fourth Age, the Age of Man, the world had grown bleak. Elves, Dwarves, and other wondrous creatures had abandoned Middle Earth leaving only humans and mundane animals. Man had forgotten the Song of Ilúvatar.

Seven stars fell, a new group of Maiar come to usher in a new age and reteach the song.
