Sorry I've not been on for some time. Been catching up on quite a bit of lore. Akallabeth, or the Downfall of Numenor, got me wondering whether Numenorian armor could be added, possibly in those abandoned Numenorian towers in the midst of the sea and maybe deep below the Meneltarma.

I mean, we can find centuries-older Elven armor in the sea, so why not the armor of Numenor. Also, I would think that Numenorian armor should exist as a drop, albeit much rarer, in the Dead Marshes, as the soldiers of Elendil and his sons would probably not have changed their armor much after the Downfall of Numenor.

Just a few thoughts. No fancy stuff like swords yet, just a cool relic set of armor to have.

Possible ideas for the armor:



DeviantArt design by turnermohan. Has really the sea-ish vibe to it.



I know it isn't all there, but this design comes from the new Shadow of War Minas Ithil soldiers. The armor, especially the helmet, resembles both Gondorian and Arnorian armor.

Just an afterthought about Black Numenorean helmets:



I would have liked to see this on Nazgul, but even if they're added, they would probably be wearing only those black cloaks. However, the idea of a faceless evil would go pretty well with Black Numenoreans as well.

Yes, I know it's Shadow of War. Don't get me wrong, it messes up the lore alot, but the graphics and art are great.
