numenorians

I work out their heght ( from UT) as being 1.9 metres of 6ft 4inches(at the begining of the third age).However tolkein seems to hint that it could be taller than that (ie elendil IMO is 2.10 metres). So was the dunadian height increase as they lived in numenor and became more like elves, or in...

Just wondering! what is a black numenorian? Why are they black do they have actual black skin or is the black meant to simbolize their personality or sect that they belong to? I assumed that everyone in the north of middle earth was white and humans of darker skin tones lived in the south and...

Why was Imrazor (father of Galador, first Lord of Dol Amroth) called "the Numenorean"? (and why does he have an Adunaic name when he dwells in a Realm in Exile?)

We read from Myths Tranformed (passage XI): Especially the second paragraph refers to the effects of long-livety of Men. The natural question that rises is whether that happened to the long-lived Númenóreans. They were given even 400 years of life. Is this time long enough for the fëa to...

The Númenórean life-span (+ Men were immortal?) According to the Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor in Unfinished Tales, the 'ordinary' Númenóreans lived three times as long as other Men, and those of the Line of Elros lived to about 400 years (before the coming of the Shadow), except Elros who...

It is a certain passage in the Return of the King that has been bothering me, it is when Gandalf speaks to Denetor in Rath dinen, the royal tomb in Minas Tirith. Gandalf: Whilst it is said in the Akallabêth that one of the main reasons to the downfall of the Númenoreans was that they...

Even thought with all the gifts that the Valar and Eldar gave the Númenóreans, were they destined to be trapped by jealousy towards them. Couldn't they have saved their city and land. Was this their destiny? And this was before Sauron had come to Númenor.

I personnaly think it's Tar-Aldarion because of the friendship he began with Gil-galad and his peoples. Tar-Minastir did a great job too, and Tar-Palantir tried his best. But no ones brought a wind of changes and work for the peace of the kingdom more than Aldarion.

In the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, when Aragorn dies he states "I am the last of the Numenoreans and the latest king of the elder days." Hold on here!!! Last of the Numenoreans? What about Eldarion? Eldarion's mother was Arwen. If anything, his blood was purer than Aragorn's. Why wouldn't he...

Hey, I was wondering, are Numenorians and Dunedain the same thing, just different name? Also, the Numenorians were started by Eorl, and he was a half elf. Half elves, though they can choose to be counted among men or elves, still have the blood of both men and elves in them right? Half-elf men...
