A Description of the Island of Númenor is the first chapter of Part Two of Unfinished Tales, containing an account derived from “descriptions and simple maps that were long preserved in the archives of the Kings of Gondor.”

The chapter that follows is "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner’s Wife".

Synopsis[]

This account first describes, in outline and then detail, the geography of Númenor and its mountain, Meneltarma and its sacred character. The public speakings of the Númenórean kings at the mountain are explained, namely at the times of Erukyermë, Erulaitalë, and Eruhantalë, as are the proceedings of anyone ascending the mountain.

The fertility, flora, and terrain of all regions of the island are then told of, such as the fragrant evergreen trees (Nísimaldar) around the Bay of Eldanna and the laurinquë tree of yellow flowers. The rest of the account covers the roads of Númenor, the common mode of transportation, which was horseback, the craftsmanship of the Númenóreans, their weapons and their composition, and lastly the love that all able Númenóreans had for maritime affairs. The first Númenórean explorers in their naval expeditions are said to have followed in the footsteps of Círdan, the Elven Shipwright. The chapter ends with a note on the Guild of Venturers and on Tar-Aldarion its founder, who is the subject of the succeeding chapter.
