The One Wiki to Rule Them All


Váli-màr, otherwise known as the City of Bells, Valimar, and as Valmar, was the dwelling place of the Valar and their Maiar servants in Valinor, on the continent of Aman.

According to The Atlas of Middle-earth, Valimar was on the Girdle of Arda, west of Taniquetil.[1]

History[]

The city was built on the great Plain of Valinor beyond the shield of the Pelóri, gated with great golden gates. It had gold domes, and streets paved with silver. Before the city's western gate lay the mound of Ezellohar, on which stood the Two Trees, and Máhanaxar, the Ring of Doom, were outside Valimar and between the city and the Trees. Valmar is generally considered the capital of Valinor, as it was there that the Valar congregated.[2][3]

Valmar

After being released from prison, Melkor lived here for a time, as he could not leave the city due to the Valar's mistrust of him.

Etymology[]

Valimar was a Quenya word that meant 'Valar-home'.[4]

Inspiration[]

  • J.R.R. Tolkien may have based Valimar off of Heaven, from the Christian religion, as the cities' structures, streets, and gates are very similar to the structures, streets and gates mentioned of the city of heaven in the book of Revelation.
