“King Greymantle was he, Elu Thingol in the tongue of that land. And Melian was his Queen, wiser than any child of Middle-earth; and their hidden halls were in Menegroth, the Thousand Caves, in Doriath… . And of the love of Thingol and Melian there came unto the world the fairest of all the Children of Ilúvatar that was or shall ever be.”

“She took the silver dew from the vats of the Telperion, and therewith she made new stars. Carnil and Luninil, Neuar and Lumbar, Alcarinque and Elemmire, she wrought in the that time.
