numenorians

The discussion club for my subject concerning the Black Númenorians Welcome!

What sort of ships did the Numenoreans use? I'm thinking they might have used something like a carrack. A 15th century painting of a carrack.

For a project: is there anything specifically known about the roles of Númenórean women during the island's existence? I know many of the Númenóreans were sailing masters and ship-builders, masters of many crafts including forging and various arts and sciences, and the technology of Númenor...

How did Ar-Pharazôn force Míriel to marry him? Like weren’t there people who wouldn’t have allowed it? Why didn’t she call the police or whatever they had in Númenor or something?

As title, we all knew that orcs were nothing but exp gift packs often, in military battles. Yet as Dark Numenoreans started joining Sauron, did they help him, such as providing Mithril Craftsman personnel(orcs were too stupid to learn it's craftsmanship) and so on. The Dark Side Men seemed to...

Why Is it That The People Of Numenor where Afraid Of Death? Did They Not Realise That After Men Died They Souls went elsewere? if yes then why did they still Fear Death?

Its been a bit since i read the Silmarillion. I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a couple of good passages on their worship of youth and living longer. Thanks.

As the title, for instance, we seldom or maybe never see any good monarch, like Tar-Palantir prohibiting slavery(stuff unnecessary like making speech against Valar illegal due to not matching Valar's policies). Even when it came to the Kinsmen witch-hunt against the Faithful was enforced...

Though both were Sauron's side, they seemed to not getting along well with each other, for almost each military conflicts against Gondor, you seldom saw them working out. These're the only records I got when Dark Numenoreans got allied with ME natives 1. Last Alliance 2. Angmar War 3. Long...

EX-Corsairs, the King's men and Gondor Numenor Supremacists, were racists. After the Last alliance, what did take places between these Dark Numenorians and Natives? Sauron and the Witch King might bond these 2 theoretically defined enemies by the same religions, then what if without...

When the Valar created Numenor, they gave the people there one rule: you can't sail west or come to Valinor. They had good intentions with this, as they put it, "like a moth to a flame" visiting would be harmful to humans. But by simply banning them, that made the Numenorians disgruntled and...

As you guys had already known the general progress change between Numenorain and the ME natives. A bunch of decisive military conflicts in the thirds age that change the ME history can origin to the 2nd age stuff between Numenorian and Middle-Earth natives. I found these strange stuff about...

OK, I remembered how Gondorian kings got epithets for successful military campaigns: Umbardacil, Hyarmendacil etc. That is the same thing as Roman military commanders did - Scipio Africanus, Tiberius Claudius Britannicus, and so on. So what are other cultural parallels between Numenor and/or its...

I get that those like the Nazgul and those ensnared enough like the Mouth of Sauron would still stay loyal to Mordor, but I wonder why none of the King's Men, who survived, of course, realized that Sauron, on his "Let's attack Valinor" scheme caused Eru to sink the island and thus realized that...

Are they all descended of the "Half Elven" or just the Royal line of Elros, and other houses to branch off like the Elendi?

All right, I'm sure you all know that it has been said several times that the greatest amassing of forces occurred at the War of Wrath, and the second greatest gathering of forces was at the Last Alliance. Well, my question is this, what about Ar-Pharazon's colossal fleet he assailed the Undying...

I love all of Tolkien's writing, and I believe that the Lord of the Rings is the best fictional work written in modern times, with the possible exception of the Silmarillion. And of course, getting this out of the way is a prelude to me getting ready to criticize a specific aspect of Tolkien's...

by the time of the war of the ring, the numenorians could become about 200 years old, right? so why has their life span decreased from the elder days, from 500 to 200? was it because they mixed with normal people more and more? thanks!

Basically my question is wouldn't many Numenoreans have light hair? They were made up of Edain. The House of Hador was the most numerous and predominantly Blond haired there population must have been severly decimated. But the House of Beor's population was also decimated and there population...

On reading some Numenorean-related threads, I found myself really intrigued with their population count(which I think might have numbered a million), mainly because: they eventually split off into two factions, the kings' men and the faithful, the faithful being outnumbered nine-to-one(?), now...
