The Silmarils are three brilliant jewels created by the Elven smith Fëanor in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. They contain the light of the Two Trees of Valinor, Telperion and Laurelin, and are central to the events of 'The Silmarillion'. Their beauty and power lead to great strife among Elves and other beings, igniting wars and tragic tales. These jewels symbolize the themes of creation, loss, and the pursuit of beauty. The quest for the Silmarils drives many characters, including Beren and Lúthien, and their legacy profoundly impacts the history of Middle-earth, shaping the destinies of many races.
