| '''Helcar''' (also spelled '''Helkar''') was a great tower, raised by the [[Valar]] (some traditions say by [[Melkor]]) to house the northern of the [[Two Lamps]], [[Illuin]]. It was placed in the north of [[Middle-earth]], and together with the southern lamp [[Olmar]], lit up all of [[Arda]].

| Helcar was destroyed by Melkor, and collapsed. This ruined a great part of Middle-earth and formed the inland '''[[Sea of Helcar]]'''.

| In earlier versions of the [[legendarium]], Helcar was made by Melkor out of ice, a substance not yet known to the Valar. The heat of Illuin then melted the tower, and the meltwater formed the Sea of Helcar.
