  • Door of Night
rdfs:comment
  • The Door of Night (Q."Moritarnon"; "Tarn Fui") was a great Gate or Portal in the Sea west of Aman where Sun and Moon used to leave through the Walls of Night.
  • The Door was created by the Valar as a gateway for the Sun to pass through. According to others, though, it was made expressly as a gateway through which to expel Morgoth. The following text describes the creation of the Door in the Ainulindale: Thus came it that the Gods dared a very great deed, the most mighty of their works; for making a fleet of magic rafts and boats with Ulmo's aid - and otherwise had none of these endured to sail upon the waters of Vai - they drew to the Wall of Things, and there they made the Door of Night.
