The Book of Icelore
The Book of Icelore (Av. "ekka a `elngol") was a large volume bound in sheets of clear laen and written on pages of gold-trimmed parchment, this book was a powerful artifact sought after by The Sixth of the Nazgûl; it was recovered by Andai Inda'eir and his companions after they fought Mourmaelgax. The book was found in a lair of the Ulairi.
The Book of Icelore was created by Queen Helkalòmë, a Noldorin Elf who married Lindor (founder of Luindor) and became the first queen of the Blue Land. She was also a mistress of the ways of weather, and she wrote the Book of Icelore. By her creation, the Luindrim were able to control the weather in their lands, and to use it against their enemies, covering them with snow or weakening with hail. The Luindrim usually appointed a "Keeper of the Book of Icelore", often the queen. Nevertheless, it was stolen and recovered more than once.
