 | | Nienna is constantly weeping for the sadness of Arda, and she teaches pity and endurance for all who endure suffering. |
 | | The most moving evidence of Nienna's pity is when Melkor, after being imprisoned for three ages because of the terror he had caused in Arda, asked for pardon from his imprisonment, Nienna spoke on behalf of him and asked the Valar to let him go. |
 | | After the Two Trees were destroyed by Melkor, Nienna again wept on their remains and washed away the filth left by Ungoliant, and by doing so, she helped the last fruit and flower, which would become the sun and the moon, to come forth, though her tears could not heal their mortal wounds. |
