“The Fall of Númenor” is a legendary tale from J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythology, detailing the rise and catastrophic fall of the island kingdom of Númenor. Gifted to the Edain for their loyalty in the war against Morgoth, Númenor thrives for centuries, home to a noble lineage and advanced culture. However, envy of the Undying Lands and the influence of Sauron lead the Númenóreans to rebel against the Valar. Driven by pride and a desire for immortality, they sail westward to challenge the divine order. This recklessness provokes the wrath of the Valar, resulting in the cataclysmic submersion of Númenor into the sea. The faithful, led by Elendil and his sons, escape to Middle-earth, eventually founding the kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor. The story serves as a cautionary tale about hubris, the consequences of defiance against greater powers, and the enduring struggle between good and evil in Tolkien’s expansive legendarium.
