Núrnë

Núrnë is a fictional concept originating from the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, specifically within his posthumously published works. It refers to the innermost sphere of the world, often interpreted as the core or heart of Arda. This region is described as being incredibly deep and central, holding a unique significance within the cosmological framework Tolkien created.

The concept of Núrnë is not extensively detailed, but it is implied to be a place of great power and mystery. Its precise nature and inhabitants, if any, are largely left to the imagination. Some scholars and fans interpret Núrnë as a metaphorical representation of the fundamental essence of the world, or a source of its enduring power and life. It is a concept that adds a layer of depth to Tolkien's creation mythos, suggesting that the world has an interiority beyond its visible surface. References to Núrnë are sparse and often found in less accessible texts, making it a subject of considerable speculation among Tolkien enthusiasts.
