Were there other continents on Arda in the third age, apart from Middle-Earth. In Unfinished tales it is said that Numenor sank down into the sea, an Aman dissapeared from the circles of the world.
I have also seen maps, not made by Tolkien himself though, where continents south-east of Middle-Earth lies. These are named The Dark Lands, and The Sun Lands. Is these lands mentioned in any of Tolkiens writings?
