General information
Nienna, Lady of Sorrow
Nienna is the Lady of Sorrow who dwells west of west, looking out over the edge of the world. But she does not weep for herself, but for the world, and those that hearken to her learn pity, hope, strength and endurance.
"Mightier than Estë is Nienna, sister of the Fëanturi; she dwells alone. She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda has suffered in the marring of Melkor.
So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began. But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope. Her halls are west of West, upon the borders of the world; and she comes seldom to the city of Valimar where all is glad. She goes rather to the halls of Mandos, which are near to her own; and all those who wait in Mandos cry to her, for she brings strength to the spirit and turns sorrow to wisdom. The windows of her house look outward from the walls of the world."
- The Valaquenta (The Account of the Valar)
Nienna is the sister of Lórien and Mandos, the Fëanturi.
Olórin spent a great deal of time in the Halls of Nienna before he was sent to Middle-earth where he learned pityNienna was the only Vala to speak on behalf of Melkor when he asked for release during his imprisonment.Nienna is one of the eight Aratar, ‘the Exhalted,’ the eight Valar of greatest power. Nienna’s tears watered the growth that Yavanna’s song brought forth, including the Two Trees of Valinor. Realm Members
