re: #289 (((Archangel1)))

While edited by his son as part of The Silmarillion, its fourth segment (The Akellabeth) about events in the Second Age was originally written by Tolkien in the 1930s as “The Fall of Numenor”.

There isn’t a lot to it, and the history of Númenor is very long; it lasted for 3200 years, according to Tolkien’s reckoning, with only a few key events having names and places associated to them. There’s a lot of room there to explore and invent within the framework of Númenor, and even introducing characters who are named in the Akallabêth would likely not be an issue, if they keep them true to what’s already written. (BIG IF.)
