Valar (Aratar)
Orom (Quenya; IPA: ['orome] - "Horn-Blower" or "Sound of Horns"), also known as
Aldaron (Quenya; IPA: "Horn-Blower"), Araw (Sindarin; IPA: "Horn-Blower") or
Armz, was an Ainu, one of the Aratar and a Vala who was responsible for the hunt.
He was the brother of Nessa and the husband of Vna.[3]

BiographyEdit
Orome croppedversion
Orom in Middle-earth
During the Years of the Trees, after most of the Valar had withdrawn completely
from Middle-earth and hidden themselves in Aman, Orom still hunted in the forests
of Middle-earth on occasion. Thus, it was he who discovered the Elves when they
first awoke at Cuivienen and named them the Eldar [4]. Thereafter he remained close
in friendship with them.
Being a powerful huntsman, he was active in the struggles against Morgoth. He had a
great horn called the Valarma and a great steed named Nahar.[3] Huan, a Hound from
Valinor, once belonged to him but was later given to Celegorm, one of the Sons of
Fanor.[5]

EtymologyEdit
Orom means "Horn-blowing" and "Sound of Horns"[6], and is derived from the Valarin
name Armz.[7]
Araw is the Sindarin translation of Orom.[7] The Sindar additionally referred to
him as Tauron, which means "Lord of the Forests" and "The Forester."[6] It is
possible that the name comes from the Sindarin taur ("forest") or the Quenyan taure
("great wood").[8]

Other namesEdit
In the Old English translation of Eriol, Orom is called Wadfrea ("The
Huntinglord"), Huntena frea ("Lord of Hunters"), and Wealdafrea ("Lord of
Forests").[9] Among the Rohirrim and other Northmen, he was also sometimes called
Bma (Old English, originally Baming; translating Tauron "forest-lord")[10].
CharacterEdit
Orom is described as being a mighty lord and a great huntsman, as he would often
train his folk and beasts in pursue of evil creatures. He loved the lands of
Middle-earth that was initially unwilling to leave it. He contrasts the Vala Tulkas
in demeanor; whereas Tulkas laughs in sports, Orom is said to be dreadful in
anger.[3]
Maiar of OromEdit
Tilion, the Maia who guided the Moon, was one of his Maiar in Valinor.
Alatar and Pallando, the last two of the five wizards, were Maiar sent by Orom to
Middle-earth. What became of them is not known, although apparently they journeyed
into the east with Saruman, but did not return.
Earlier versions of the legendariumEdit
Orom and his wife Vna were once envisioned to have had a daughter named Nielqui.
