Ambar

Ambar was a term referring to fate in the legendarium of Arda.

Definitions

Fates of peoples

As a common Elvish noun, Ambar was a word that denoted the fate of an individual person.^{[citation needed]}

Fates of the created universe

Ambar is also known for standing for the fate of all created things as in Eä, Arda, and perhaps the Ainulindalë. It was compared to Elendil's vow upon landing on Middle-earth after the Fall of Númenor.^{[citation needed]}

Other meanings

In Karen Wynn Fonstad's The Atlas of Middle-earth, it was illustrated and described as the Earth itself, excluding the celestial bodies.

Because the Sun, Moon, Stars, and other objects orbited the planet in the cosmology of Middle-earth, they were considered part of Arda, such that Arda is considered by Fonstad the 'Solar System' of Middle-earth.

Etymology

Ambar is a Quenya word that meant 'fate' or 'doom'.
