Nornorë was a Vala in the earliest version of the legendarium, The Book of Lost Tales. Nornorë was herald of the Gods and was sent to the Koivië-néni to invite the Eldar to come to Valinor. He was replaced in later versions of the legendarium by Eönwë and Oromë.
Fui would judge Men after they had died, sending some to Mandos or Angamandi, but sending others to Arvalin aboard the ship Mornië. Of those sent to Arvalin, Nornorë would come and retrieve very few, bringing them by chariot to dwell in Valmar until the Great End.[1]
Nornorë was sent by the Gods as Manwë's ambassador to the newly-awoken Eldar. Coming to Koivië-néni, he invited some of them return with him to Valinor. Isil Inwë, Finwë Nólemë, and Tinwë Lintö heeded his call and he brought the three of them before the Gods. After their sojourn in Valinor, it was also Nornorë who returned them to their folk at the Koivië to urge them all to set out to join the Gods in Valinor. Nornorë brought the news to the Gods that the host of the Elves would indeed make the long journey west.[2]
Etymology
Nornorë, also appearing as Nornoros, is a Qenya name, derived from nornoro- ("run on, run smoothly"). The Gnomish version of his name is Drondor (later Dronúrin).[3] He was also given other names: Qenya Kapalimor (derived from kapalima "bounding, leaping"; Gnomish version Cablin) and Qenya Vastor (derived from vastan "rush, of both noise and speed").[4]
