The Valar
Yavanna and Nienna nurtured the last remnants of the Two Trees. And from Telperion
came the Silver Flower which Yavanna set in the vessel given her by the other Valar to bring light to Arda, now darkened by the deeds of Melkor.

These things the valar did, recalling in their twilight the darkness of the lands of Arda; and they resolved now to illumine Middle-earth and with the light to hinder the deeds of Melkor . . . Therefore the Valar sent forth Light . . .
