Messengers of the Valar

The messengers of the Valar were a group of people who came to the isle of Númenor from the West in the middle of the Second Age. They appeared during the reign of Tar-Atanamir, the thirteenth King. Tar-Atanamir ruled during a time of great upheaval in Númenor; he and most of his people had begun to question the justice of their mortal state and the Ban of the Valar.
