Aratar

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

The Aratar (Sindarin: Exalted) or High Ones of Arda are the eight greatest of the Valar: Manwë, Varda, Ulmo, Yavanna, Aulë, Mandos, Nienna, and Oromë. Melkor, the most powerful of all, is not counted among them.

The Aratar are also referred to as the Eight and the Holy Ones of Arda.
