The mountain-fence of Aman, raised by the Valar against the evils of Melkor. The highest peak of the Pelóri was Taniquetil, on which were the mansions of Manwë and Varda.
Notes
1 |
The location of the great mountain Hyarmentir is not established definitively, though its description seems to imply that it belonged to the range of the Pelóri. It lay southward of Taniquetil, and eastward of the southern plains of Valinor, so it must have been at least close to the location marked here.
