The Darkening and End of Númenor - Timeline of Arda #11

Although the Númenóreans were, in the early Second Age, heroes for the Elves of Middle-earth, they descended into darkness through the fear of death, and the works of Sauron. Today’s Timeline of Arda video explores that time period in Tolkien’s works. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on the darkening of Númenor in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description! #Silmarillion #LordoftheRings #Tolkien #Lore #SecondAge Consider donating to our Patreon for the Westernesse Podcast and Discord Server:   / menofthewest   Check out our Merch: https://www.spreadshirt.com/user/Yoys...
