Tilion, one of the Maiar, is charged with piloting the Moon's island. The Valar appointed him while Arien received the solar vessel. When the Two Trees still stood he served among Oromë's hunters with a bow of silver. Attracted by silver light, he left Oromë's forests for Lórien and rested beside Estë under Telperion's beams, requesting permanent care of the final silver flower. That flower of Telperion became the Moon of later ages.
