Queens of Numenor Vol 5
This summer I wanted to colour this series, which if you remember, I inked last summer. Finally I submit the fifth one.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the end.

Indeed, it is The End of the queens of Numenor in more than one way. Although The Akallabeth makes Ar-Zimpharel seem like a shoved-aside princess in a movie where the villain wins, a story fragment in The Peoples of Middle-Earth changed my views on this queen some. In the (unpublished) story fragment, Tolkien proposed the idea that Miriel & Pharazon had fallen in love, and she broke off an engagement with a kinsman of Amandil in order to marry her golden prince, who became Ar-Pharazon the Golden, the Great. So she blundered, but she blundered for love, and perhaps a chance to reduce the burden on the Faithful through her influence. In that case, the rise of Sauron as Ar-Pharazon's adviser probably was the end of her power in the realm, and she could only watch the corruption of her husband and lord from the sidelines.
