aruann

Aruann is a fictional character from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Aruann is a name that appears in connection with the lore of the Valar, the angelic beings who shaped the world. Specifically, Aruann is mentioned in some of Tolkien's earlier writings and drafts, particularly those explored in *The History of Middle-earth* series. These early accounts often present different interpretations and genealogies of the divine beings. In these contexts, Aruann is sometimes associated with Manwë, the King of the Valar, and is depicted as a spirit or a lesser Vala. The exact nature and role of Aruann vary between these early conceptual stages. As Tolkien's legendarium developed and solidified, the specific mentions of Aruann became less prominent or were perhaps superseded by other characterizations and names within the established mythology. Therefore, Aruann represents an early iteration or less frequently referenced aspect of Tolkien's complex cosmology, offering a glimpse into the evolving development of his world.
