Pelóri Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pelóri Mountains, in the fictional works of J. R. R. Tolkien, are a mountain range in Aman that separates the inner plains of Valinor from Eldamar and the wastelands of Araman and Avathar. Taniquetil is the highest of these mountains and is home to the throne of Manwë. The Halls of Mandos were apparently in the northern foothills of this mountain range.
