Kalormë
Kalormë was a great mountain in Oronto (the farthest East of the world). The peak seems to have been the second tallest mountain in Arda, corresponding to the Oiolossë far in the West.
Etymology
In the Qenya Lexicon, the name kalorme(e) is glossed as "hill-crest over which the Sun rises".
Other versions of the legendarium
In later works, Kalormë is not mentioned. However the Land of the Sun was marked by a great, curve-shaped mountain range called the Walls of the Sun, which corresponded symmetrically to the Pelóri of Aman.
Inspiration
It is notable that the name Kalormë is similar to Calormen of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, although it is unknown if Tolkien thought of this name.
