The Walls of Night are the extraordinary walls that surrounded Arda in ancient times, beyond Ekkaia, the Encircling Sea. In the west and east of the World, Ekkaia was wide, and the Walls were a great distance from land. In the north and south, however, the Encircling Sea was much narrower. This was how Melkor returned into the World during the Years of the Lamps of the Valar, coming secretly over the Walls of Night into the north of Arda, and building there his fortress of Utumno beyond the knowledge of the Valar.

  • The Walls of Night were the utterly black mountain bounds which encircled Ambar prior to its reformation in Second Age 3319. These walls marked the edge of the world, and the only exit was the Doors of Night in the farthest West. The Gates of Morning in the farthest east served as the only entrance.
