Westernesse, also known as Númenor, is a fictional island in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth universe. It is located in the Great Sea, to the west of Middle-earth, and its history and geography are detailed in Tolkien's works, including The Silmarillion and The Akallabêth.
Westernesse was home to the Númenóreans, a human race descended from the Edain, who were blessed by the Valar and gifted with long life. They built a powerful and advanced civilization, with great seafaring and military prowess, and many regarded them as the greatest civilization of Men.
However, the Númenóreans ultimately fell into corruption and worshiped the Dark Lord Morgoth, leading to their downfall. The island was destroyed and sunk into the sea, and the remaining Númenóreans were scattered throughout Middle-earth.
Westernesse is also the origin of characters such as Aragorn and his forefathers, who are described as descendants of the Númenóreans.
