The Silmarils, also called the Jewels of Finwe, were crafted from the The Two Trees dew. The HPs used this dew to fill their swimming pools, but they promised the penguins who grew these trees of joy that they would have all of the power in them. Together with Opacus, Malcur ate the Two Trees. Since The Year 0, said trees had been the source of the High Penguins' bliss. After they fell, so too did their power. Though the Simalis technically had the Trees' power, they were created from the swimming pool dew of the HPs, and were notably weaker as such.
