Arda

Yes we should!!

Ya! I also think they light up all of Arda like the lamps do. And I think they are the spirit of the valar in them as well.

I know this is rather long but it is worth it to read.

The Years of the Trees are one of the three great time-periods of Arda. They follow the Years of the Lamps and precede the Years of the Sun, and are known to comprise several Ages.

Shortly after the destruction of the Two Lamps, Yavanna made the Two Trees, named Telperion (the silver tree) and Laurelin (the golden tree) in the land of Aman, where the Valar now lived. The Trees illuminated Aman, leaving Middle-earth in darkness, save the light of the stars.

The Elves awoke in Cuiviénen in the middle of Middle-earth, and were soon approached by Oromë of the Valar and by Melkor. Many, though not all, of the Elves were persuaded to go with Oromë on the Great Journey westwards towards Aman. Along the journey several groups of Elves tarried, notably the Nandor and the Sindar. The three clans that arrived at Aman were the Vanyar, Ñoldor, and the Teleri.

The Valar had captured Melkor and placed him in chains in Aman. After he appeared to repent and was released, he sowed great discord among the Elves, and stirred up rivalry between the Ñoldorin King Finwë's two sons Fëanor and Fingolfin. With the help of Ungoliant, he slew Finwë and stole the Silmarils, three gems crafted by Feänor that contained light of the Two Trees, from his vault, and destroyed the Trees of the Valar themselves.

Bitter at the Valar's inactivity, Feänor and his house left to pursue Melkor, cursing him with the name 'Morgoth'. A larger host, following Fingolfin followed. They reached the Teleri's port-city, Alqualondë, and were forbidden to use the Teleri's boats to get to Middle-earth. The first Kinslaying thus ensued. A curse was then put on the house of the Ñoldor forever by Mandos.

P.S. I got this from http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Years_of_the_Trees

No just Aman. I wounder when the sun is going to go down in Middle-earth. And Because the trees were destroyed I wounder if the sun lights up Aman as well? Probably.

I am sure it dose because When Frodo saw Aman for the first time it had white shores and a great plain of grass (which was the plain of Valinor). That would not be to beautiful in the dark. So the Sun I think will light it up. Untill one day the sun falls, as profisised!

Ya. I don't really know what we are talking about any more though lol?

Ya, it dose now I remember the sun lights up all of Arda.

ya, lol.

yes, sounds good. I am sure that we all are aware of the two trees and what they do. If some one wants to talk more about them they can start a topic on them. Illuvatar do your stuff lol.

The Topic did not close, you must forgot to close it. I will do it then Illuvatar.
