In The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, Númenor was an island between Middle Earth and Valinor. It was raised out of the see as the dwelling place for those of mankind who had been faithful to the Valar and had resisted Morgoth. Elros, son of Eärendil and brother of Elrond, was it's first king. The Númenoreans were blessed with long lives and under the protection of the Valar, their realm was fair and prosperous for many long years even as Middle Earth darkened.

But they longed for even more. They wished for the immortality of the Elves and the Valar and longed to journey to the Undying Lands that they could see to the west. Sauron, Morgoth's lieutenant of old, came amongst them in disguise and encouraged these treacherous thoughts. Under the influence of Sauron, King Ar-Pharazon sought to wage war on the West. He then lead a great fleet to Valinor and calmed lordship over it.

Then Iluvatar showed forth his power and changed the fashion of the world. The Undying Lands were sundered from Middle Earth forever. Ar-Pharazon's fleets were drawn into the abyss and Númenor sank into the sea.

Ok!!! now that I have that rather long history lesson out of the way, this is suppose to be Númenor in ruins on the ocean floor.

I got the tower from GreenEyezz-stock
the city is from Eirian-stock
more of the city from MontvalentStock
the pillar from pink-stock
rocky stuff, a fish, and water from *Della-Stock
water from Tigers-stock
mountains from agent-kstock
and also fish from hatestock, and FantasyStock
i also got the ruins from Elandria

If I referenced you wrong or something please let me know! This is my first time doing this so its not going to be perfect.

Thanks for looking!!!!

I'm sure the fish like it. Good habitat heterogeneity. There's probably some endemic fish species by the end of the 3rd age.

Not just cute little fish though. I'm sure some some fell creature of the deep have probably made it their home as well. By the way, I love your profile picture! Jedi goldfish! :)

I feel that it is a little out of proportion, but is a brilliant piece nonetheless :) Good job.
