Sun Pillar

The Sun-Pillar of Tar-Telperien was the remnant of a númenórean Monument once built in the Second Age at Hot Gates on Southernesse's eastern Coast.It was slender and tall, but made of a white metal that neither the hate of warriors, nor the labor of slaves, nor the skills of evil mages, nor the malice of defeated gods had made a mark upon over all the centuries. Nor were the complex ellipses carved on the chronometric floor below ever scarred by any mischief until during the Wars in the late third Age when blasting-powder had cracked a single deep sliver from the southmost or summer time-dial at the pillar's foot, for some three mens length, and blackened a much larger area.
