The History of Númenor (Rise and Downfall) - Region Spotlight

The land of Númenor was the island of the Dúnedain (the Men of the West) during the Second Age. This land produced many strong heroes, but as time went on, pride and arrogance caused the Downfall of Númenor. However, the catastrophe would allow for the creation of great kingdoms in Middle-Earth. Thank you all so much for watching, please let me know your thoughts on the history 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!

Thank you to Izzi Saeta Cabrera who created the excellent art of Númenor (8:11-8:17)! You may find Izzi's work here:
