Quellë

Revision as of 21:15, 19 May 2018 by Murlo (talk | contribs) (Corrected correspondence of modern dates to Shire dates.)

Quellë was the Quenya name for "fading", or late autumn; it was the fourth of the six "seasons" in the Reckoning of Rivendell. Alternatively it was also called Lasse-lanta or "leaf-fall". Quellë corresponded more or less to the 54 days between 7 October and 30 November in the Shire Calendar. In Sindarin, Quellë was called Firith and Lasse-lanta was called Narbeleth (which meant "sun-waning").[1]
