Mindon Eldaliéva

The Mindon Eldaliéva, also known as Mindon or the Tower of Ingwë, was a tower in the city of Tirion on the hill of Túna.
==History==
Built in honor of Ingwë, High King of the Elves, sometime during the Noontide of Valinor, the Mindon Eldaliéva was the tallest tower in Tirion and overlooked the Sea with a great silver lamp. In courts below the tower stood Galathilion, the white tree of the Eldar and the House of Finwë. After the poisoning of the Two Trees by Morgoth and Ungoliant, fog drifted through the Calacirya from the Shadowy Seas, causing the light from its tower to give a pale gloom. It was here below the tower that Fëanor and his seven sons swore their oath to retrieve the Silmarils and defeat Morgoth.
The departing Ñoldor observed the light shining from the tower as a last reminder of fair beauty of Aman as they marched their way through Araman on their way into exile in Middle-earth. After the Doom of Mandos was pronounced, Finarfin and some of his already reluctant followers returned to Tirion and stood once again under its light.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter V: "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië"The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter VII: "Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor"The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter IX: "Of the Flight of the Noldor"
