In briefanswer capsule

The Orocarni are the Mountains of the East in Middle-earth. Oromë, riding eastward on a hunt, turned north beside Helcar and passed under their shadows. There his steed Nahar halted and raised a loud call. In the quiet land under the stars Oromë heard singing from afar and so discovered the Quendi, whom the Valar had long awaited. The mountains thus stand at the moment when the Valar first found the Elder Children in the world.
