Well in truth, Elbereth is basically another name for Varda, Elbereth is less widely known name.

She was created by Iluvatar and is the wife of Manwe. :)


Hope that helped!

I think she's sorta like the queen of the stars. She made them. I think. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong!

Yeah, she created the stars. The Elves love her the most out of all the Valar, because the first thing they saw when they were created were the stars. I read in the Sil or somewhere that she was the one Morgoth was the most afraid of. I don't remember why.

I would say Elbereth is the more common name for Varda. As far as I remember she is called Varda in the Silmarillion and Elbereth in the trilogy. :angel:

I see.


I only know her as Varda....but I know that Frodo calls her Elbereth in Fellowship of the Ring.


Thanks Ea.

The name part being less known is kind of like Aragorn being called Elessar or Strider.

Numenorian: I think I would've let it go if you only did this once but you posted 4 CONSECUTIVE posts that were the most useless posts...ever in the history of A-U's most useless posts.
