Vanyamar (Q."Home of the Vanyar") the golden realm of the Vanyar, was the region of Eldamar where the First Clan of the Eldar settled. Though they first dwelt in Tirion upon Túna, the Vanyar, ever drawn to the light of the Two Trees and the voice of Manwë upon Taniquetil, gradually left the white city to settle the open plains and glades of Valinor, where the winds of the West flowed unbroken and where they might hear the songs of the Ainur more clearly.
Its capital, Ingwëmar, stood upon the western slopes of Taniquetil, serving as the seat of Ingwë Ingweron, High King of the Elves, and the spiritual heart of their people, its halls open to the sky, gleaming in gold and white, with terraces from which the Two Trees of Valinor could be seen.
