El Akallabêth, que significa "La Caída" en adûnaico (la lengua de Númenor), es la cuarta parte de El Silmarillion de J.R.R. Tolkien y narra la historia del auge y la destrucción del reino de Númenor, un evento crucial en la mitología de la Tierra Media que tiene profundas repercusiones en los eventos de El Señor de los Anillos. Tras la derrota de Morgoth, los Valar, las potestades angelicales que custodian el mundo, recompensaron a los Edain, los hombres que lucharon a su lado, con una isla en el Gran Mar Occidental, entre la Tierra Media y las Tierras Imperecederas de Valinor. Esta isla fue llamada Númenor, y a sus habitantes se les concedió una vida mucho más larga que la de los demás hombres, aunque no la inmortalidad de los Elfos. Bajo el liderazgo de Elros, el primer rey (que tomó el nombre de Tar-Minyatur), Númenor prosperó. Los númenóreanos se convirtieron en grandes navegantes, artesanos y guerreros, expandiendo su influencia por la Tierra Media. Durante muchos siglos, mantuvieron una alianza con los Elfos y vivieron en paz y prosperidad. Con el tiempo, la larga vida de los númenóreanos, aunque extendida, comenzó a parecerles una maldición en comparación con la inmortalidad de los Elfos. Empezaron a envidiar a los Elfos y a resentir la prohibición de navegar hacia el oeste, a las Tierras Imperecederas, donde residían los Valar. Esta prohibición, conocida como la Prohibición de los Valar, se les impuso para protegerlos de la tentación de buscar la inmortalidad por la fuerza, algo que solo Ilúvatar, el Creador, podía conceder. En la Segunda Edad, Sauron, el principal sirviente de Morgoth, resurgió en la Tierra Media. Tras ser derrotado por la Última Alianza de Elfos y Hombres, fue llevado prisionero a Númenor. Sin embargo, en lugar de ser un prisionero sumiso, Sauron, mediante halagos y engaños, se ganó la confianza del rey Ar-Pharazôn y de muchos númenóreanos influyentes. Sauron sembró la duda sobre la bondad de los Valar y la veracidad de la Prohibición, argumentando que los Valar los mantenían alejados de la verdadera inmortalidad por egoísmo. Prometió a los númenóreanos que si adoraban a Melkor, el antiguo Señor Oscuro, obtendrían la vida eterna y el dominio sobre toda la Tierra Media. Bajo la influencia de Sauron, los númenóreanos abandonaron la adoración a Ilúvatar y se dedicaron al culto de Melkor. Construyeron un gran templo en Armenelos, la capital, donde realizaban sacrificios humanos. Ar-Pharazôn, convencido por Sauron de que podía arrebatar la inmortalidad a los Valar, reunió una gran flota y zarpó hacia el oeste, con la intención de invadir las Tierras Imperecederas. Cuando Ar-Pharazôn desembarcó en las costas de Valinor, los Valar invocaron a Ilúvatar. Éste intervino directamente, cambiando la forma del mundo. Las Tierras Imperecederas fueron separadas del resto del mundo, dejando de ser accesibles por mar. Al mismo tiempo, un inmenso cataclismo azotó Númenor: la isla se hundió bajo las olas, arrastrando consigo al rey, su ejército y a la mayor parte de su pueblo. Sauron, aunque su cuerpo físico fue destruido, sobrevivió como espíritu y regresó a la Tierra Media. Solo unos pocos númenóreanos, liderados por Elendil y sus hijos Isildur y Anárion, que se habían mantenido fieles a los Valar, escaparon a la destrucción. Navegaron hacia el este y fundaron los reinos de Gondor y Arnor en la Tierra Media, llevando consigo la herencia de Númenor y la esperanza de un futuro mejor, pero también la sombra de la Caída.

Yet over the course of a 3300 year history, the Men of Númenor tragically discover that the soul of Man desires things that the natural world cannot provide.QUOTE OF THE WEEKfrom The Waldman Letter (#131)..."The Downfall is partly the result of an inner weakness in Men – consequent, if you will, upon the first Fall, repented but not finally healed. Reward on earth is more dangerous for men than punishment! The Fall is achieved by the cunning of Sauron in exploiting this weakness.

Join us for an in-depth discussion as we explore "Of Túrin Turambar", the 21st chapter of JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Learn about the tragic tale of the ill-fated son of Húrin, one of the Great Tales of Middle-earth's First Age!WATCH THE VIDEO» https://youtu.be/ekQQ69g6J8E EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS » Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien, John R, Jacob Lockham, John H, Scotchy BoboThe tale of Túrin Turambar is a long one, rivaling “Of Beren and Lúthien” and “Akallabêth” as the longest chapter in The Silmarillion. It is also quite tragic, as we shall see. After giving a bit of background on Túrin's ancestry, it picks up where the last chapter left off, with Túrin's father Húrin imprisoned in Angband. The chapter then focuses in on Túrin's life.Like “Of Beren and Lúthien”, this chapter summarizes one of the Great Tales of the First Age. In fact, many of you may already realize that The Children of Húrin is a novel length telling of this story! We look forward to a chapter-by-chapter discussion of The Children of Húrin in 2023.QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "Then Glaurung died, and the veil of his malice was taken from [Nienor], and she remembered all the days of her life. Looking down upon Túrin she cried: ‘Farewell, O twice beloved! A Túrin Turambar turun ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!'

In this episode, we take a close look at "The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor" from Unfinished Tales! It's a brief and fascinating account of the 3000 year history of Númenor, and contains a lot that needs to be unpacked! As we have explored before, the history of Númenor spans a vast period: over 3000 years. While works like “Akallabêth” and “The Tale of Years” also chronicle the events of this period, The Line of Elros approaches it by listing the generations of Númenor's monarchs, which totals 25 here, and providing important details about them all.

Dcn. Nicholas Kotar returns to the podcast to talk with Fr. Andrew about one of the darkest chapters in the Legendarium -- The Akallabêth, the Fall of Numenor. They start by talking about how Christianity uses fairy tales, then take a topical survey of major themes in the Akallabêth -- the Numenoreans as a people, sacred geography, the problem of death, Numenor as a remix of Atlantis and the Biblical Flood, and finally the cosmological shift that occurs for the Legendarium. They wrap up by giving their notes for the “LOTR on Amazon Prime” crew filming in New Zealand and fully expect their opinions will be honored.

Join Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy for this week’s discussion of the Akallabêth. Characters: Not all of them, as they aren’t all important, but here’s some of the main players Morgoth/Melkor: has been banished to the void. Sauron: was grounded by daddy so built an evil empire in Mordor Edain: the “good” men, leading to the Dúnedain […]
The second of two episodes on the Akallabêth, Tolkien's story of Númenor. Ar-Pharazôn is offered no resistance by Sauron, and gets the bright idea to take him as a hostage. Soon, you-know-who has wormed his way into the King’s trust and turned the Númenóreans to the worship of Melkor. As Sauron’s cult gains power in the kingdom, the Faithful led by Amandil and Elendil are persecuted; the aging Ar-Pharazôn prepares his armada to sail to the Undying Lands to take immortality by force, and the Valar respond with a disaster of biblical proportions. Also, Alan and Shawn finally disagree about something: Genesis.
The first of two episodes on the Akallabêth, the story of Númenor. At the outset of the Second Age, the Valar reward the Edain with wisdom, long life and their own private island in the Great Sea. The Númenóreans become legendary seafarers, sailing east to the edge of Arda and bringing knowledge back to Middle-earth. But the Valar forbid them to sail west in search of the Undying Lands, and soon the Númenóreans begin to yearn for the one thing they cannot have: immortality. We look into Tolkien's essays and letters to see what happens to mortals who do come to Aman, and dabble in genealogy with questionable results.

Númenor seemed like a nice place until a Dark Lord decided to tear the down will of the people living there and pushed them into war with the gods. That, an island full of corgis and more on this week's episode of Talking Tolkien where Jonathan, Katie and Chase read the Akallabêth of the Silmarillion.
