Beginning


In the early days of Arda, Nessa found much delight in dancing. She was quickly recognized as being the best dancer of all of the Ainur. Nessa and her maidens would spend much time dancing on the green grass in Valinor.

Nessa also enjoyed running in the forest. When Nessa would run, the other animals would try to keep up with her but Nessa would prove to be too fast for them to keep up with, outpacing even the fastest deer.

Marriage

When the Ainur finished their work in the creation of Arda, Manwe held a great feast in Almaren. At this feast, Nessa wedded Tulkas. Nessa wore a great robe of flowers that was made for her by Vana. The wedding was filled with much joy and dancing. Arda was at peace for some time afterwards.
