With Morgoth having been finally defeated in the War of Wrath, the Men allied with the Elves of Beleriand are rewarded with an earthly paradise: the Island of Númenor. Yet over the course of a 3300 year history, the Men of Númenor tragically discover that the soul of Man desires things that the natural world cannot provide.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from The Waldman Letter (#131)...

"The Downfall is partly the result of an inner weakness in Men – consequent, if you will, upon the first Fall, repented but not finally healed. Reward on earth is more dangerous for men than punishment! The Fall is achieved by the cunning of Sauron in exploiting this weakness. Its central theme is (inevitably, I think, in a story of Men) a Ban, or Prohibition."
