UT: Description of Numenor

[Voronwen]

The eagles invite you once again to soar over the land with them. This day, you observe the people in their activities.

Over the harbors you see the fishermen, their nets full with fish, and the cargo ships coming from the colonies, laden with goods. At the shorelines swimmers and divers enjoy the waves while boaters engage in sailing. Closer to the cities in the great fields you see men practicing their skills with the sword and equestrians at their sport. Whether at work or play, the people of this land thrive in the beauty of its environment.

As the midday turns to late afternoon, you are once again following the eagles to their sacred place atop Meneltarma. As it is midsummer, you see the people assembling below for the ceremony of Erulaitale. Silently you watch as they reverently climb the mountain, dressed in their finest clothes as they follow the king of the land to the place of prayer. As the king blesses the people and the land, you take your last long look at the land of Numenor, Elenna, Land of the Star in all her sun-drenched glory below the sacred mountain, sparkling amidst the western seas.
