Fall Asleep To Middle Earth Lore - The Rise And Fall Of Númenor: The Second Age's Greatest Kingdom

Journey into the heart of Tolkien's Second Age and discover the tragic tale of Númenor — the mightiest civilization of Men ever to exist in Middle-earth. From its miraculous founding as a gift from the Valar to the seeds of pride that would lead to its catastrophic downfall, this is the story of a kingdom blessed beyond measure, and cursed by its own ambition.

In this first part, we explore the aftermath of the War of Wrath, the loyalty of the Edain who fought alongside Elves against Morgoth, and the unprecedented reward granted to them: an island paradise risen from the sea itself. Learn about Elros Half-elven's choice between immortality and mortal kingship, the gifts and restrictions placed upon Númenor, and the golden centuries when Men and Elves walked as friends under the White Tree.

This series covers the complete arc of Númenor's history, drawing from The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and the appendices of The Lord of the Rings. Discover why Aragorn's bloodline matters, how Sauron's greatest deception unfolded, and why the kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor are forever known as the Realms in Exile.

Perfect for deep lore dives, background listening, or drifting off to the ancient histories of Middle-earth.
