Ambar

Ambar was a term referring to fates.
== Definitions ==
=== Fates of peoples ===
As a common Elvish noun, Ambar was a word that denoted the fate of an individual person.
===Fates of the created universe=== 
Ambar is also known for being the term that stood for the fate of all created things as in Eä, Arda, and perhaps the Ainulindalë. It was compared to Elendil's vow upon landing on Middle-earth after the Fall of Númenor. 
=== Other meanings ===
In Karen Wynn Fonstad's The Atlas of Middle-earth, it was illustrated and described as the Earth itself, excluding the celestial bodies. 
Because the Sun, Moon, Stars, and other objects orbited the planet in the cosmology of Middle-earth, they were considered part of Arda, such that Arda is considered by Fonstad the 'Solar System' of Middle-earth.The Atlas of Middle-earth, ForewordThe Atlas of Middle-earth, Introduction
