In the works of
J. R. R. Tolkien, the
Two Trees, named
Telperion (the silver, or white tree) and
Laurelin (the gold tree), brought light to the Land of the
Valar in ancient times. They were destroyed by
Melkor and
Ungoliant, but their last flower and fruit were made into the Moon and the Sun.
The trees sat on a hill named Ezellohar located outside Valimar.
