OrbelainThe Day of the PowersThe last of the six days that made up the Elves' week. Orbelain is a Sindarin name, and the day was also know by the name Rodyn in the same language. In Quenya, the same day was given the names Valanya or Tárion. All these names have approximately the same meaning, referring to a day dedicated to the Valar or Powers. The same tradition was ultimately transmitted to Middle-earth, where the last day of the week became known as 'Highday'. For acknowledgements and references, see the Disclaimer & Bibliography page.
