The Hill of Ilmarin, then, was a name for the mountain beneath those mansions. The word 'hill' here is used poetically: actually Taniquetil was not merely a mountain, but the tallest of all the mountains of the world. So tall was the Holy Mountain that the name Ilmarin incorporated the name of Ilmen, the high airs of Arda, and from their mansions on its peak Manwë and Varda could look out over the entire world. A host of spirits in the forms of eagles and hawks brought news to the Elder King from every corner of the world, except the shadowed darkness that hid Melkor from the sight of the Valar in the Elder Days. Notes 1 The raising of the mountains of the Pelóri, including the Hill of Ilmarin that stood among them, took place 3,450 Valian Years after the Valar descended into Arda, according to The Annals of Aman in volume X of The History of Middle-earth That translates to about 14,800 years before the first rising of the Sun.
