Minyar

Minyar is a fictional celestial body featured in the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It first appears in "The Silmarillion" and is described as a star, one of the most beautiful and brilliant among the host of heaven. Minyar is significant as it is the first star kindled by the Valar, the angelic powers, in the creation of the world. Its lighting is said to have heralded a new era and marked a departure from the initial darkness.

In Tolkien's mythology, stars are not merely astronomical objects but possess a deeper spiritual and symbolic meaning. Minyar, as the first star, carries particular importance. It is often associated with the Valar's work of shaping and illuminating Arda, the world. The light of Minyar is described as being pure and powerful, a beacon of hope and order against the forces of chaos. Its creation signifies the Valar's active role in bringing beauty and light into existence. While specific narratives directly revolving around Minyar are not extensively detailed, its presence establishes a crucial element in the cosmogony of Tolkien's legendarium, setting the stage for the appearance of other celestial bodies and the unfolding of subsequent events in Middle-earth's history.
