Ilmarin referred to the mansions of Manwë and Varda.[1][2]
Description
The domed halls[3] situated on the summit of Taniquetil, the highest peak of the world, from where Manwë here set his throne, and spirits shaped like hawks and eagles constantly came with news of events in Arda. Manwë and Varda "could look out across the Earth even into the East". [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 is Quenya[7] for "mansion of the high airs".[1][2] Christopher Tolkien has noted that Ilmarin is related to such words as Ilmarë and Ilmen.[8]
In the poem Namárië, the dwelling of Manwë and Varda is given the Quenya name oromardi "lofty halls".[9][10]
Other uses
In one poem, the name Ilmarin is used for Valinor, and in the Song of Eärendil the name "Hill of Ilmarin" refers to Oiolossë.[9][2]
