The Chronicles of the Teleri

Alqualondë

Upon alighting on the shores of Valinor, we were conducted by Ulmo through a great pass in the mountains, and we perceived that in the midst of the pass was a high, green hill, and on the crown of the hill was built a fair city, and we thought that this must be the home of the Valar. But Ulmo led us past the hill, and on through the mountains, and in time we came into the full light of the Two Trees of Valinor, and saw the unsurpassed beauty of the Undying Lands.

Then truly we felt that we had never seen beauty before that moment, for everywhere was a green and pleasant land, bathed in the gold and silver glow of Telperion and Laurelin. For the Two Trees we now also beheld, and we now fully understood the desire of Ingwë and Finwë to return to them as quickly as they might, and thus we no longer harboured any resentment towards them for leaving us behind.

Ulmo then conducted us to the wondrous city of Valmar, home of the Valar, and there we were presented to Manwë, Lord of the Valar, and Varda his queen. At first we were overawed to be in the presence of one so mighty, and also to see the Lady of the Stars, responsible for the beauty of the heavens. But then they spoke to us, and welcomed us to the Blessed Realm, and there was such kindness and dignity in their voices, that we forgot to be afraid, and thanked them for their gracious welcome.

Then we perceived that standing near were Ingwë and Finwë, and we rejoiced to finally be reunited with our kindred. And although Finwë grieved at the absence of Elwë, he was scarcely less joyful to see Olwë again, and all three Lords spoke at length with each other, relating their separate histories.

And we discovered that the fair city on the hill in the pass of the Pelóri was the city of the Vanyar, and was called Tirion, while the hill itself was named Túna, and there dwelt Ingwë and his people, while the Noldor dwelt in the green valleys of the pass itself.

But, much as we came to love the land of Valinor, and the Valar themselves, we could never entirely forsake the sea and the stars. And therefore the Valar permitted us to build our own city on the shores of the Bay of Eldamar, where we could still hear the music of the sea and see the light of the stars, yet at the same time could live within the light of the Two Trees, and converse with our kindred.

This city we named Alqualondë, the Haven of the Swans, and from there we sailed our swan-ships on the waters of Eldamar, and became ever more proficient in the arts of sailing and music. And in time our fair city came to rival even the city of Tirion upon Túna, for we built our halls of pearls got from the sea, and adorned them with gems given to us by the Noldor, who were cunning in the art of stone-cutting.

And in time our long sundering from our kindred was as nothing, and Olwë and Finwë became great friends and counselled each other upon many matters, and the Teleri and the Noldor drew together, and shared many secrets of Valinor and the land across the Sundering Seas. For although we had finally reached Valinor, and were content, we never forgot Middle-earth in the East, that had been our home for so long, and we shared our memories of it with the Noldor, and found happiness in remembering a place that had been so beloved.
