Numenor - Blog Posts

Wanted to share this edit I made a while ago for Elendil and Míriel. I'm not one for romantic subplots but I liked the writing for them. The song is The Diving Bell by my beloved The Crane Wives.

It is the first edit I've made, so any thoughts are welcome :)

I think some of the audio clips are spaced out too much, I'd do it a little differently now.

I've also got a few more thoughts on tRoP Crane Wives edits I may get to at some point.

and if they don't now, they will soon!

You know, for all that the elves are beautifully described by Tolkien to have a deep cultural connection to the stars, the only character in Middle Earth that I would really label an astronomer is a mortal man: Tar-Meneldur, the fifth king of Numenor.

Once the City of Kings Where the Elven Lord Elros made his home Among the blossoming growth Sweet laughs caught upon the wind The Star of Eärendil brightens the night sky with the fading light of the Two Trees

And the Valar watch us with kind eyes and tender care Tis Númenor where life is untainted and death is unknown,

But Annatar- Lord of Gifts- showed us the altar and decorated it with wynorrific things The Good God Morgoth who we shed our bliss for The promise of immortality, of days spent to praise the seas and land But alas! As we reached the Valar’s home, our white city turned black and soiled

The ground quaked with anger, and fire bit flesh So Ulmo swallowed the great kingdom, men and women and children taken to the depths of his home Tis the fate of Númenor, as such with every Man.
