Varda Valier of Stars

Who Varda Is (Status and Role) Varda is the spouse of Manwë Súlimo, the King of the Valar. Together, they form the chief governing authority of the world, residing on the peak of Taniquetil, the highest mountain in Arda, overlooking the blessed realm of Valinor. Her essential role is that of the Kindler of Light and the Adversary of Darkness. Before the sun and moon were made, Varda took the silver dews from the lost Two Trees of Valinor and used them to create the brightest and most ancient stars. This act was deliberately performed so that the first sight beheld by the newly awakened Elves would be her celestial light, forging an eternal bond of love and devotion between her and the Firstborn. Varda's appearance is defined by incandescent purity and unparalleled beauty. She is often described as the Fairest of all the Valar.
