Correct, Lyra. Melkor it is. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hithaeglir the is Sindarin name for the Misty Mountains, which Melkor is said to have raised as a barrier against potential foes.

The flower was "made" by Telperion, the vessel it rode in was made by Aule, Varda set it in the sky, and Tilion drove it... somewhere in there I've got to have hit the right answer [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Valar

Yavanna and Nienna nurtured the last remnants of the Two Trees. And from Telperion
came the Silver Flower which Yavanna set in the vessel given her by the other Valar to bring light to Arda, now darkened by the deeds of Melkor.

Quote:
These things the valar did, recalling in their twilight the darkness of the lands of Arda; and they resolved now to illumine Middle-earth and with the light to hinder the deeds of Melkor . . . Therefore the Valar sent forth Light . . .
- The Silmarillion, Ballantine 2001, p. 110-111.

Palarran was a ship built by Tar-Aldarion [I'll admit, I had to look it up to see who it was built by, but I did know what it was!]

Hmmmmm
Went to the refererance and got this
"Elostirion Tallest of the towers upon Emyn Beraid,in which the palantir was placed . 292
PP292 "Three Elendil took,and his sons took two.Those of Elendil were set in towers upon Emyn Beraid,"So, even though the area was under the influence of Gil-galad I would go with Elendil.

I'm reading straight from Silm. (unless HoME contradicts me somewhere that I'm not aware of) it was not Elendil who built the towers [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
