The Haradrim come from the southeast--Far Harad. I think some o the forces also came from Umbar and Khand. Rhun extends further east and north. Elves originally came from further east, I believe,--much north and east of Mordor--can't remmber if it is further east and north of Rhun--the place began with a Cu- is all I can remember without consulting books and maps and google. Beleriand is sunk under the sea to the east of the Grey Havens. (Thinking about it--maybe I'm wrong and the Elf emergence place is west and under the sea in Beleriand?)
Feanor also made lamps that weren't Silmaril powered.
Luthien was so kick ass cool--and yes she and Beren were a vampire and werewolf team.
Verlyn Fliegar wrote a book called Splintered Light, studying the meanings of light in Middle-earth.
