Telperion (the Silver Tree) and Laurelin (the Golden Tree), the great trees that lit the Blessed Realm before the creation of the Sun and Moon. Their intermingled light was the purest illumination the world has ever known, and it is this light that Feanor captured in the Silmarils. Morgoth and the great spider Ungoliant destroyed the Two Trees, plunging the world into darkness. From their last fruit and flower, the Valar created the Sun and Moon, but their light is only a pale reflection of the Trees' radiance.
