"Sometimes I dream to soar the skies so high that I can reach the realm of Manwe's folk, which mingles at night with Varda's stars and lazily watch the world below from a bed of clouds"

One night under starlight

Story

I looked upon the stranger as if he came out of a vision, a dream, an omen. In the quiet of the forest, where all the noises are familiar to me, there was one I could not recognize. I hid behind a tree, alert and afraid and I waited. I kept my gaze on a patch of darkness in front of me, my eyes used to see through the faint light of rānā and the stars. I held my breath as the darkness slowly receded and a halo made its way towards me. 

Ever present, Evenstar

"It is said the stars Elbereth wove in the sky so long ago represent both hope and a sign of things to come in our lives. They shine even in daylight, with bad weather, unchanged. Menelmacar protects little Remmirath, I wonder if they represent the Powers and us"

I'd be sad if you left...

Estarfin opened his mouth to speak, but then looked away. “We should make preparations,” he said softly. But that was not his original thought.

I tilted my head and reached out to him again, “What is it?” I asked, sensing his reticence.

"Brightest than any other star is Earendil, he who bears one of the febled Silmarilli, I often wonder what it would be like, to sail in a sea of clouds like birds do... and is it not said by the Eldar that his wife is indeed a bird? I know not, but for what I have been told by my elders"

"Ilmen is part of the atmosphere that surrounds Arda. The lower layer of that region of airs where the stars are, but also where the Sun and the Moon chart their course.They traverse the lower regions of Ilmen, and, being closer to us than the stars in Menel, outshine them. Us physical beings cannot survive the airs of Ilmen unaided, or so I heard. I also heard that the Straight Road traverses Ilmen and that is how Ships go to Valinor... but my time has not yet come to embark on such a journey"

Menel

"Menel was the name for the regions of air above Arda, above Vista, In the common tongue would be "firmament" or "heaven". I know mortals like to call it simply the sky, even though it is much more than that. It is the domain of the stars and all other celestial beings and I heard...  I heard that Menel is an actual physical place! Or it was before the changing of the world. I do not know if a mere elf or man can ever reach it, but I do know that the stars must hang on to something"

Danel and Parnard look over the valley from one of Duilond's platforms. The stars again draw their attention. Danel explains she is considering approaching the Dwarven craftsfolk of Ered Luin, to see what sort of glasses for star-seeing they can make, in lieu of the Mirdan crafted one she has long since lost.

“I would commission something from you,” I asked Parnard, as we sat together again by the small lake. “A cloak, hooded, so I may hide my hair at need.”
