Nessa; Wife of Tulkas
Does anyone know anything about Nessa, I believe she was the sister of Orome and the wife of Tulkas. I am only so interested in her, because my name just happens to be Nessa.

Hello Pheonix,
Nessa is indeed the sister of Orome and the wife of Tulkas. Here's an excerpt from the Valaquenta in the Silmarillion: Quote:
Peace

that pretty much sums her up.
I can add a couple of points: -she was one of the Valier- Queens of the Valar. -patroness of deer -wedded Tulkas at the Feast of the Spring of Arda, in Almaren, where the Valar then dwelt. (Please forgive any incorrect information. I'm assuming its all correct)

I have a book where it calls her Nessa the Dancer. Basically, I think she dances through the woods with a trail of deer following her. Kind of like the Pied Piper.
