In his poem of Earendil, in 'Many Meetings'. And another interesting fact - Orome is mentioned twice! Theoden is compared to him as he charges to the Pelennor Fields, but Denethor also mentions 'the Kine of Araw', one of which contributed the horn which was last wielded by Boromir. Araw is another name of Orome. I miss this place. Hopefully I'll be back next week. There's quite a lot to catch up with, seemingly.
