Tolkien wrote a poem whose main subject is the Tower of Pearl in the Twilit Isles, titled The Happy Mariners, which gives some details about its appeareance: the tower was white, glimmering like a spike in the evening, and it stood upon a dark rock. Its name in Gnomish was Tirimbrithla, from tirin ("tower") + brithla ("pearl"). During his travels, Eärendel was driven there, where he found the Sleeper in the Tower of Pearl and woke him with Littleheart's gong. It was built in later days after Tol Eressëa was established, and was much sung in song. There the tower rose pale upon the most western cape of the Twilit Isles. Like the Twilit Isles, it was in the Shadowy Seas, west of Tol Eressëa. The Tower of Pearl was located in one of the Twilit Isles according to the early version of the legendarium in The Book of Lost Tales.
