Kalormë was a great mountain in Oronto (the farthest East of the world). The peak seems to have been the second tallest mountain in Arda, corresponding to the Oiolossë far in the West.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
In the Qenya Lexicon, the name kalorme(e) is glossed as "hill-crest over which the Sun rises".[2][3]
Other versions of the legendarium[edit | edit source]
In later works, Kalormë is not mentioned. However the Land of the Sun was marked by a great, curve-shaped mountain range called the Walls of the Sun, which corresponded symmetrically to the Pelóri of Aman.[4]
Inspiration[edit | edit source]
It is notable that the name Kalormë is similar to Calormen of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, although it is unknown if Tolkien thought of this name.
