0332 » The Fall of Númenor Pt 8 » The Life of the Númenoreans

While these details may not seem of particular importance in advancing the story of Númenor’s downfall, they do help us to better grasp the significance of being Númenorean, and to juxtapose life in Land of Gift with our everyday lives.
