The History of Númenor | Tolkien Explained

An overview of the Rise and Fall of Númenor! Living on the island that was a gift from the Valar to the Edain, this great kingdom of Men would prove a pivotal player in the Second Age. It is sure to be a primary location for the new Amazon Lord of the Rings on Prime series, and boasts some of the most dramatic stories from the time period.

Today's video tracks Númenor's beginning under King Elros Tar-Minyatur - the mortal brother of Elrond. From there, we follow the story of these men as they help the elves of Lindon in the War of Elves and Sauron. I'll explain how the Númenóreans begin to turn their backs on the elves and Valar, until their island is finally destroyed after Ar-Pharazôn falls prey to the lies of Sauron.
