The Drowning of Númenor: The Tale of Ar-Pharazôn, Sauron and the Changing of the World

Today we tell the complete tale of the fall of Númenor. Discover how the shadow fell upon the land and how Sauron came to Númenor and how he weaved his dark machinations. Learn of the fates of Ar-Pharazôn and Queen Miriel, and hear how Eru Iúvatar interviened in the great war and, in doing so, changed the very shape of world.

This video makes a great primer before watching Season 3 of The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime, as the show will likely cover much of the lore covered here.
