Changes: Vista

Revision as of 09:36, 7 August 2016

Vista was a part of the atmosphere that surrounds the world of Arda before the cataclysm at the end of the Second Age. Vista forms the inner layer of normal air: above it is Ilmen, and above that Vaiya.

Vista is the breathable air; within the top part are the clouds, and in the lower parts are the paths of birds.^[1]^[2]

Etymology

In Quenya, Vista means "Inner Air".^[2] It comes from the stem wis ("air").^[3]
