Location: Númenor

"Welcome, my lords, to Númenor!"

Númenor has intrigued me ever since I read the appendix of The Lord of the Rings, and now I'm pouring that fascination into building the island that changed the world.

The island kingdom is set in an ocean surrounded by a black display base. Front and center is an image of the White Tree, while above it Númenor is written out in an elven-style script. In the upper left-hand corner is a compass (I used the same piece for the needle that I did for the ships). In the center is Meneltarma, the mountain from which prayers and thanksgivings were offered to the One, Eru Ilúvatar. The cities of Númenor are represented by gray round plates.

"My lords, to the east can be seen the fleet Ar-Pharazôn returning from Middle Earth."
