To light the new world they had formed, the Valar created two huge lamps - Illuin and Ormal - and positioned them at opposite ends of Arda.
According to that mythology, in the beginning, Ilúvatar - who is basically God - created angelic beings called the Valar. Tolkien is an author who loves mythology, and The Lord of the Rings has an extensive one. Okay, there’s a lot of terminology here, so settle in. The Two Trees of Valinor on Lord of the Rings Prime We are looking at the Two Trees of Valinor. In fact, this is so early that we bypass the First Age entirely and go straight to a time called the Years of the Trees. And if we’re seeing two trees, that means we’re looking at something even earlier. Image: The Lord of the Rings/Amazon StudiosĪnd yes, that is two trees there, one that’s pure white and one in dark silhouette. I draw your attention to the two trees in the background, the ones that are giving off all that light: Without spoiling things too much, while some of its people live on, Númenor itself is destroyed during the Second Age, but for awhile it’s the most splendid place east of Valinor. Maybe it’s another notable place from the Second Age? Minis Tirith was founded by men from the island of Númenor, which was populated by human beings gifted with especially long life - Aragorn is descended of these people. That’s probably not what we’re looking at. Technically, Minis Tirith was around back then, back when it was called Minis Anor, but that was late on. But that can’t be, because we know that Amazon’s show is set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before Frodo or Aragorn or any of those guys were born. But what exactly are we looking at here? At first glance, it kind of looks like the city of Minis Tirith, where Merry, Legolas, Gandalf, Éowyn and others fought the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in The Return of the King, before Aragorn showed up to end it with his ghost army.
