Encyclopedia : N : NI : NIM : Nimloth



 

In the fantasy world of J. R. R. Tolkien, Nimloth, Sindarin for "white blossom"[#endnote_source], was the name of the White Tree of Númenor. A seedling of Nimloth was saved by Elendil and replanted in Middle-earth.

Nimloth was also the name of the daughter of Galathil, son of Galadhon, son of Elmo. Elmo is the brother of Olwë and Elwë. Nimloth later married Dior the Beautiful, her second cousin once removed. Her children were Eluréd, Elurín and Elwing.

She was later slain in the Kinslaying of Menegroth.
