Tol Eressëa


an early poem by Tolkien, entitled "Kortirion", several versions of which can be found in "The Book of Lost Tales", Volume I. Tol Eressëa was designed as a kind of Isle of the Blessed inhabited by Elves, presenting a mythological backdrop to the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Great Britain. Tol Eressëa was conceived as a mythological equivalent of the island of Great Britain or "Albion" before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons. Its main city, Kortirion, was located at the same place as Warwick

A tree with long green leaves, golden on the undersides that bears pale flowers, with a yellow flush, which "laid thickly on the branches like a sunlit snow". The tree was brought to Númenor by Eldar from Tol Eressëa. It is said by mariners that the scent could "be felt on the air long ere the land of Eressëa could be seen, and that it brought a desire

The plant's designation is derived from the name of Varda, one of the Valier, and Quenya "rianna" 'crown-gift'. An evergreen and fragrant tree with globed and scarlet fruits that grew in the province of Nísimaldar in Númenor, where it was brought from Tol Eressëa by the Elves.

It was written by a man (not an Elf) contemporary with the fifth century mariner Eriol who came to Tol Eressëa. Goldogrin has a complex series of mutations.

In early versions of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium (see: "The History of Middle-earth"), Tol Eressëa was an island visited by the Anglo-Saxon traveller Ælfwine (in earlier versions, Eriol) which provided a framework for the tales that later became "The Silmarillion". The name is Quenya for "Lonely Island". In early versions, the Cottage of Lost Play is located in Kortirion, the island's main city, and it is here that Eriol the Mariner comes. There is

In the older edition of the "Legendarium" and in the "Roverandom", along with Ulmo's working, "Uin" the great right whale was also in charge to pull the island, and the fallen part of the island later became Ireland. With the end of the First Age, many of the exiled Eldar of Middle-earth (and Teleri that had never left it) went to Aman, and lived in the island of Tol Eressëa. Its principal city was Avallónë.

, at the very centre of the island. Later, Tolkien dropped the identification of Tol Eressëa and "Albion" and made it an island situated far to the west, within sight of Valinor. In the 1977 "Silmarillion", edited by Christopher Tolkien, Ulmo pushed the island back and forth across the Sundering Seas twice to transport the Elves to Aman. After that, it came to rest forever just off the eastern shore of that continent in the Bay of Eldamar, and was inhabited by the Teleri of Aman,

On the Great Journey to the West the Teleri lag behind, loving Middle-earth and having mixed feelings about leaving it for Valinor, and do not arrive at the coast until after the departure of the moving island of Tol Eressëa. Thus, they stay in Beleriand for many years, until Ulmo pushes Tol Eressëa back again to fetch them. During this time Elwë encounters Melian the Maia in the woods of Nan

Valinor


Valinor ("Land of the Valar") is a fictional location in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, the realm of the Valar in Aman. It is located far to the west of Middle-earth. It was also known as the Undying Lands, along with Tol Eressëa and the outliers of Aman. This latter name is somewhat misleading; the land itself, while blessed, did not cause mortals to live forever. However, only immortal beings were generally allowed to reside there. Exceptionally, the surviving bearers of

Aman is a fictional place in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, also known as the Undying Lands, the Blessed Realm or the Uttermost West, the last sometimes simply the West. It is the home of revered immortal beings: the Valar, and three kindreds of Elves: the Vanyar, some of the Noldor, and some of the Teleri. Aman was a continent far to the west of Middle-earth across the great ocean Belegaer. The island of Tol Eressëa lies just off its eastern shore. At the end

Somatosensory evoked potential


Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in
