Máhanaxar
Máhanaxar, or the Ring of Doom, was the place where the Valar gathered to hold their councils. It lay south of Two Trees of Valinor just outside the golden western gates of Váli-màr, in Aman across the Sea.
History[]
Within the circles of the Máhanaxar were the thrones of the Valar where they passed judgment. Here Melkor was judged and sentenced for his evils.[1][2] It was also where the great Ñoldorin artisan Fëanor was judged for his deeds in Tirion, and where he spoke to the Valar of his intentions following the death of his father at the hands of Melkor.[3][4]
Etymology[]
Máhanaxar was a Quenya word, from the Valarin Mâchananaškad.[citation needed]
