Revision 77175678 of "Salmar" on enwiki

{{Middle-earth portal}}'''Salmar''' is a character in  [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s fictional universe, [[Middle-earth]]. He made the Ulumúri for his lord [[Ulmo]], the great [[conch]]es which produce the music of the [[sea]].
{{spoiler-about|[[The Silmarillion]]}}
In the index of ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' Salmar is described as a [[Maia (Middle-earth)|Maia]], but it is unknown whether that entry was written by J. R. R. Tolkien or his son [[Christopher Tolkien]]. While there is no other text describing Salmar as one of the Maiar his status as a spirit who accompanied Ulmo but was not listed amongst the [[Vala (Middle-earth)|Valar]] would make that the logical conclusion.

In earlier conceptions of the legendarium (see: ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'') Salmar is often called by the title '''Noldorin''', and sometimes '''Lirillo''', and was envisioned as a Vala in the service of [[Aulë]].
