Tree Valar

The Valar trees were located on the huge Ezellohar hill near the western gate of Valimar and illuminated Valinor , Eldamar and Tol-Eressea . The eldest of the trees was Telperion (“Silver”), the second Tree was called Laurelin (“Golden”). The flowers of Telperion gave a silvery light, the leaves of Laurelin emitted golden. Luminous dew Drev Ward collected in large bowls - Bowls Warda. The light of Telperion and Laurelin intensified and weakened at intervals of twelve hours — such was the length of the day at that time. The light of the Tree gave the elves the opportunity to stay longer in Arda and not "fade away".

It was with dew and light that Drew Feanor filled the Silmarils he created.

The Light of the Tree was hated by Melkor, as he healed all the harm he had brought to Arda during her Distortion, and with the help of Ungoliants he destroyed the Tree, poisoned the dew in the Chalices and stole the Silmarils. Yavanna and Nienna could not heal the Tree, but from their last fruits the Valar created the Sun and the Moon . In addition, Galatilion grew in Tyrion , a similarity to Telperion, a noldor received as a gift from the Valar, and a procession of Galatilion, Keleborn was planted on the island of Tol-Eressea . In time, Celeborn's escape, Nimlot , was planted in Númenor , and Elendil brought the Nimloth sapling to Middle-earth and planted it in Gondor ( White Tree of Gondor ).

It is also known that Beltil and Glingal were skillfully carved from stone, similar to Drev Valar in Gondolin at the court of Prince Turgon .

It is known that Telperion and Laurelin in the Tolkien legend have several names: for example, Telperion was known as Sylpion (Sindarin root sil ( til ) means “shine” (white or silver light)) and Ninquvelote (Quenya form of Ninque - “white “, The lotto means “ flower ”), and Laurelin bore the names of Malald (Queniiski. Small -“ golden ”and alda -“ tree ”) and Kulurien ( kul -“ red-golden ”). Tolkien’s early manuscripts also mention the names Bansil and Beltil in relation to Telperion ^[1] .

Vala Namo Mandos foretold the Trees revival. According to this prophecy, Feanor will reclaim the Silmarils after Dagor Dagorath, and he will smash them to save the world from darkness and allow all the dead elves to rise. Valie Yavanna will revive Laurelin and Telperion with the help of the light of the Silmarils, the mountains of Pelori will fall and the light of the two Trees will fill the whole of Arda. And then the elves will be resurrected, the Valar will regain their lost strength in this light and the time will come for Ainur to sound to the Second Music.
