Akallabêth 🌋 | Numenor 1 Hour Dark Destruction Ambience | Silmarillion Middle-Earth Epic Soundscape

Описание: The tale of Númenor's destruction is one of tragedy and hubris, a powerful drama woven by J.R.R. Tolkien in his legendarium, particularly recounted in the "Akallabêth" section of The Silmarillion.

Númenor, the island gifted to the Edain by the Valar in the Second Age, flourished for centuries. Its people, the Númenóreans, were blessed with long life, wisdom, and a wealth of knowledge. However, over time, they grew proud and covetous of the immortality that eluded them, the gift that belonged only to the Elves and the Valar in the undying lands of Valinor.

As centuries passed, the shadow of greed and the fear of death grew stronger over the hearts of Númenóreans. Under the influence of Sauron, who was taken as a hostage to Númenor but quickly rose in influence and power, their last king, Ar-Pharazôn, was driven to defy the ban of the Valar against mortals setting foot on Valinor. Sauron, once a servant of the fallen Morgoth, twisted their pride and fear into a dire form, turning their worship from Eru Ilúvatar and the Valar to darker rites and the worship of Morgoth.

Compelled by pride and the manipulation of Sauron, Ar-Pharazôn amassed a great fleet, the mightiest ever seen. With this immense naval power, he set sail to Aman, the Blessed Realm, intending to claim immortality for himself and his people. The armada approached Valinor, a land no mortal was meant to invade under the decree of the Valar.

The Valar, seeing the blasphemy of Ar-Pharazôn and his great fleet, laid down their guardianship of the world and called upon Eru Ilúvatar. Eru responded with a cataclysm of monumental proportions. He changed the shape of the world from flat to round, making Valinor forever inaccessible to mortals. The seas rose and roared, breaking the very foundations of Númenor. The island was swallowed by the waves, sinking into the abyss, destroying the land and its people, including the king and his grand armada. This marked the end of the island and the diminishing of the once-mighty Númenóreans.

As Númenor fell beneath the waves, the few faithful who had resisted Sauron's deceptions, led by Elendil and his sons, Isildur and Anárion, were spared. They sailed east in nine ships, carrying with them remnants of their civilization, and established the kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor in Middle-earth. This set the stage for the later events of the Third Age, leading to the epic saga recounted in The Lord of the Rings.

Thus, the pride and might of Númenor were lost, a victim to the sea and their own fatal ambitions, leaving behind only echoes of their vast power and a cautionary tale of hubris.
