The Fall of Numenor *Discussion Thread*

No... this is NOT about autumn in Numenor! So rid yourselves of visions of the Numenorean children going 'back to school', leaves turning bright colors and falling from the trees, brisk fall air and Numenorean-rules football. As Rosie said at the start of the game thread:

Quote:
This is about the Faithful at the time of the Fall of Numenor. We are persecuted by Sauron, and his puppet the King. We hear of the plan to sail to Valinor, and also of Elendil's plan to make a dash for Middle Earth before it's too late. We need plenty of Men (guys and girls)
This all occurs late in the Second Age - over 3,000 years before the events covered in 'The Lord of the Rings'. For good background from Tolkien, read the story; Akallabeth in The Silmarillion. It's also handy to refer to a map of Numenor - as shown in Unfinished Tales and some recent editions of LotR. Other good information on the Numenoreans can be found in UT as well: A Description of Numenor, the story of Aldarion and Erendis, The List of Kings - and The Disaster of the Gladden Fields. For a recounting of key dates, these come from Appendix B in The Lord of the Rings:

3175 Repentance of Tar-Palantir, civil war in Numenor
3255 Ar-Pharazon the Golden seizes the scepter (upon Tar-Palantir's death - he was Tar-Palantir's nephew)
3261 Ar-Pharazon sets sail and lands at Umbar
3262 Sauron is taken as prisoner to Numenor
3262-3310 Sauron seduces the King and corrupts the Numenoreans
3310 Ar-Pharazon begins the building of the Great Armament (in order to attack Valinor - sailing east which breaks the 'ban' - the one rule of the Valar that Numenoreans were to keep)
3319 Ar-Pharazon assails Valinor. Downfall of Numenor. Elendil and his sons escape.
3320 Foundations of the Realms in Exile: Arnor and Gondor

The action of this thread takes place in 3319, beginning shortly before Ar-Pharazon sets sail.

Characters I

Note on Characters:
Characters from the race of Men are strongly suggested, as their were no others on Numenor at this time. The Elves used to come visit, but their visits ended long before the time even of Tar-Palantir. Other races will probably have a hard time working themselves into the main action of this game. Note also that Numenorean men and women had lifespans of about 200 years at this time - give or take.

Val, how about if one of the characters has a place in Armenelos that is not too watched, and out of the way, or something?

Hey, Val, very good posts! I will take the next one, if that is cool. I plan on taking them through the wilderness, without much incident, until they reach Armenelos.

Good job, once again

Hey all others in the game: When Demaethor, Esteldur, Amariel, et al reach Armenelos, they'll likely need a 'safe house' in town. It COULD be a good opportunity to involve some others in our storyline (if you LIKE our storyline). You would just need to have a place there, and have been known to be of the Faithful by Nedron, the scribe - who was also of the Faithful. We would need lodging for anywhere from 5-8 for maybe a couple nights... but we're not picky about where we sleep. Anyone interested?

Uh... it COULD be dangerous!

Go ahead Beor, I was intending you go next. In fact, I may be able to use a break for a couple days to take care of that ole 'real life' stuff!

(so no rush!)

Um, it's been here for quite a while. I think I'm going to start really spamming at Val to get in the RPG and write. I'm missing it, and I want to find out what happens next. I think he's really preoccupied with that Firiel girl now.

Well... that Firiel IS quite a gal, you know! Her eleventh letter turns out to be a bit longer than I'd anticipated... again, there was much for her to relate.

After I finish her 12th letter, I'll try to wrap up this storyline of Esteldur and company.

WRAP IT UP? *starts freaking out*

Why are you going to wrap it up just when it's getting interesting?

No! Don't you dare ! I want to get at my chance to blow up Armenelos (well, at least part of it )! I still want to crawl through its far-advanced-for-its-time sewers!
And what about your suggestion to keep going after and see how the Faithful do in Middle-Earth .

EDIT: Although I must admit I've got fourteen pages worth of story left that I have'nt typed up yet.
