Ilmarin referred to the mansions of Manwë and Varda.[1][2]

Description

The domed halls[3] of Manwë and Varda were situated on the summit of Taniquetil, the highest peak of the world, from where they "could look out across the Earth even into the East". Manwë here set his throne, and spirits shaped like hawks and eagles constantly came with news of events in Arda.[4][5]

During the high feast before the Darkening of Valinor, the Maiar, Vanyar, and Noldor sang before Manwë and Varda in their halls.[6]

Etymology

Ilmarin
Tengwar, Quenya mode

In the poem Namárië, the dwelling of Manwë and Varda is given the Quenya name oromardi "lofty halls".[9][10]
