The halls of Oromë was the dwelling of Oromë in Valmar, the city of the Valar in Valinor.[note 1]
The halls were "wide and low", with walls and floor abundantly adorned with "skins and pelts" and "spears and bows and knives". A tree grew in the middle of each room (where dwelt Oromë's folk, clad in green and brown), holding up the roof.[2][1]
Notes
- ↑ The notion of Oromë's halls only appears in the earliest version of the legendarium, where Tolkien often included more elaborate descriptions of the Valar than in his manuscripts of later years.
