We let the story of Númenor wash over us, as we dive deep into the lore, and try not drown in all the sea-related puns about the Great Wave. We engage in admiration of Galadriel’s headstrong attitude, observation of Pharazôn’s manipulations, and speculation of just who this Waldreg guy is anyway. And of course we’re not crying at Elrond’s story about his father, Eärendil – not at all, at all.
