Numenor: an almost isolated land in the stagnant backwaters of Middle Earth. It is said that the Valar destroyed it in a fit of rage for invading their almost perfect little home away west somewhere. However the truth, which is only known to the editorship and a few other selected individuals, is that Numenor lied in the midst of prime shipping lanes, so the Valar demolished it for a trade bypass between the undieing lands and middle earth, however in a strange coincidence, this same catostrophic event somehow removed the undying lands from the sphere of the earth, making the entire event a moot point anyway. there is a theory that the island was never redally destroyed and that the seas in that area have amazingly shifted their currents to make it impossible to leave or approach the island, but it is beleived only by those who have smoked to much longbottom leaf, and therefore it is discounted by most historians.
