The Maiar (singular: Maia) are beings from J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy legendarium. They are lesser Ainur who entered Eä in the beginning of time. Tolkien uses the term Valar ("powers") to refer both to all the Ainur who entered Eä, and (more often) specifically to the greatest among them, the fourteen Lords and Queens of the Valar. So the Maiar are at the same time lesser Valar and the helpers of the (greater) Valar. "Valar" without qualification generally refers to the great Valar.
