| [[Image:Tengwar Anar.gif|right|150px]]'''Anar''' is [[Quenya]] for ''sun'' or ''The Fire-Golden'' (root [[nar]]) and during the [[Years of the Trees]], [[Valinor]] was lit for many thousands of years by the light of the [[Two Trees]], [[Telperion]] the Silver and [[Laurelin]] the Gold. When these were destroyed by [[Melkor]] and [[Ungoliant]], [[Arda]] was plunged into darkness. Through the power of [[Nienna]] and [[Yavanna]], though, [[Laurelin]] produced a single fiery fruit before it died. This golden fire was set in a vessel, and steered into the sky by the [[Arien|Maia Arien]]. The [[Vanyar]] gave it the name Anar the fire-golden: this was the origin of the Sun. The [[Sindarin]] name for the Sun is '''Anor'''. | | #REDIRECT [[Sun#Names of the Sun]] |

| [[Valinor]] was in the West of the World, and so the first sunrise was in the west, not the east. Originally, [[Arien]] was to have steered Anar ceaselessly from west to east and back again, always remaining in the sky, but the [[Valar]] changed this counsel, so that each evening Anar would descend into the distant western seas, and re-emerge each morning in the east.
