Ormal
Type: Miscellaneous
Description:
The southernmost of the two Lamps of the Valar:
One lamp [the Valar] raised near to the north of Middle-earth, and it was named Illuin; and the other was raised in the south, and it was named Ormal; and the light of the Lamps of the Valar flowed out over the Earth, so that all was lit as it were in a changeless day.
The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch 1, Of The Beginning of Days
But Melkor... assailed the lights of Illuin and Ormal, and cast down their pillars and broke their lamps.
