Imloth Melui in The Lord of the Rings Online
- "It reminds me of the roses of Imloth Melui when I was a lass."
- ― Ioreth
Imloth Melui was a valley in Lossarnach.[1][2]
Roses grew in Imloth Melui.[3] People from Minas Tirith often travelled to the upper valleys of Lossarnach to see the flowers and the blossoms of the fruit trees.[2] Ioreth was probably raised in Imloth Melui before she travelled to Minas Tirith.[3][4]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Imloth Melui is Sindarin[5] for "sweet flower-valley"[2] or "lovely flowery vale"[1]. It is a compound of Imloth ("flowery vale") and Melui ("lovely").[1] The element Imloth seems to be a compound of im ("valley") and loth ("flower").[5]
