The Eldar name the tale Akallabêth, “the Downfall of Númenor”. Men arrived under Morgoth’s Shadow and slipped under his rule once his messengers were believed; they honored the Dark and shrank from it. Some left that path and their kin, heading west toward a rumoured brightness beyond the Shadow’s reach. Hunted, they reached the seacoast and crossed into Beleriand while the War of the Jewels ran, called Edain in Sindarin, fighting Morgoth beside the Eldar.
