The DOWNFALL OF NUMENOR! | The Days that Shook Middle-earth | Middle-Earth Lore

There are many events throughout Tolkien's Legendarium that can be seen as incredibly important events in the history of Middle-earth. This series, "The Days that Shook Middle-earth", will be covering the most important of these in new and different ways!

Today, in episode 1, we take a look at the crowning of Elros, brother of Elrond, as the first King of Númenor, Tar-Minyatur, and how everything that led to Akallabêth , the Downfall, came to be!

I hope you enjoy the video!
