The Halls of Nienna were the dwelling place of Vala Queen Nienna on the west coast of Aman, looking out to the Ekkaia to the Door of Night.[1]
History[]
The Halls were presided over by Nienna, an Ainu. She was a Queen of the Valar, eternally concerned with the suffering of others, and so was always in grief. She spent time in her halls staring out to sea and weeping. As the realms ruled by the Valar reflected the ruler, the Halls were a dreary, sad place where one could learn the lessons of compassion and hope.[2] The Maia Olórin, the future Gandalf probably spent much there learning pity and patience.[3]
