Nienna would be called upon again to assist Yavanna when the Two Trees of Valinor were destroyed by Melkor and Ungoliant. This time, she would help try to heal the two trees with her tears. Sadly, her tears were unable to heal the trees. Instead the trees bore a flower and a fruit, which were used to create the sun and the moon.The tears of Nienna can bring about healing.
