The Red Book Podcast ran for 12 episodes. This is the final episode. The Downfall of Númenor is more than the destruction of the Kingdom itself in the year 3319 of the Second Age. It is the decline of a civilisation through a growing shadow that took centuries to envelop the Númenóreans. This episode explores the gradual descent into madness and blasphemy. A descent that saw a once great kingdom become ruled by envious and fearful lords, leading to an attempt to seize deathlessness by any means necessary.
