Moon (Middle-earth)
In the
legendarium of
J. R. R. Tolkien, the moon of
Middle-earth was created by the
Vala Aulë. According to the
Silmarillion, a vessel was made, by him and his people, to hold the radiance of the last flower of Telperion, the elder of the
Two Trees of
Valinor. The
Maia Tilion was chosen to guide the vessel of the Moon."Isil was first wrought and made ready, and first rose into the realm of the stars, and was the elder of the new lights, as was Telperion of the Trees." Names of the Moon amongst the
Elves included Isil or The Sheen, a name given to it by the
Vanyar; Ithil, the common name for the Moon in
Sindarin, as seen in Minas Ithil (later
Minas Morgul) and the
Gondorian province of
Ithilien; and Rána, or The Wayward, a name given to the Moon by the
Noldor.
