The twentieth king of Numenor ascended not the throne using an Elvish name, but in the Numenorean name of Adunakhor, Lord of the West, forsaking the Elvish tongues and forbidding their use in his hearing.

There was an island in this world whose story is similar to that of Numenor. State the island I'm refering to and explain why.

I guess you are referring to Atlantis because it, too, was a superior civilization that was located on an island that catastrophically sunk into the Sea.

The ideal answer to this would have told the story of Atlantis; how it started as a noble and great civilisation, then fell into greed and became power-hungry. The gods -- in this case, Zues -- had to punish it by throwing it into the sea.

Anyway, you got the island, so ask away.

Sorry to interrupt, but I thought I`d mention the following story.

Some people believe that the Azores are all that remains of Atlantis. Whether or not this is true is obviously debatable.

Apparently when the Spaniards landed there in the 15th century they found a pacifist, culturally advanced people. The Spaniards butchered all the inhabitants, and tried to destroy all evidence of their existence. Very few references to this event have survived.

My cousin is a Catholic priest who, until recently, worked in the Vatican library. He helped me on several occasions during the course of my degree (Medieval History) and I asked him if he could find any information about this story. He confirmed that there were several documents relating to the incident held in Rome, but that they were subject to an interdict preventing access to them.

This story has always fascinated me, but I doubt that I shall ever know any more about it.

You'd definitely be in Lamedon, but I was figuring you might run into the lord there (who's name has escaped me for the moment).

The few grim hill-men from Lamedon came to Minas Tirith without a captain, so you can't find the answer in the muster scene with Pippin and Bergil. I have asked this question before (in another guise) but since the fact escaped the masterly wight, it must still be germane.
Who was Lord of Lamedon during the War of the Ring?

The ideal answer to this would have told the story of Atlantis; how it started as a noble and great civilisation, then fell into greed and became power-hungry. The gods -- in this case, Zues -- had to punish it by throwing it into the sea. Anyway, you got the island, so ask away. </p>

Sorry to interrupt, but I thought I`d mention the following story. Some people believe that the Azores are all that remains of Atlantis. Whether or not this is true is obviously debatable. Apparently when the Spaniards landed there in the 15th century they found a pacifist, culturally advanced people. The Spaniards butchered all the inhabitants, and tried to destroy all evidence of their existence. Very few references to this event have survived. My cousin is a Catholic priest who, until recently, worked in the Vatican library. He helped me on several occasions during the course of my degree (Medieval History) and I asked him if he could find any information about this story. He confirmed that there were several documents relating to the incident held in Rome, but that they were subject to an interdict preventing access to them. This story has always fascinated me, but I doubt that I shall ever know any more about it.
