Ar-Pharazon and the separation of Valanor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just reread the Silmarilion a little while ago and it says that when Ar-Pharazon landed and Illuvitar split Valanor from the rest of the world that Ar-pharazon and his army that was on land were swollowed up or covered up and would not be seen again until the last battle and the breaking of the world. So at that time he and his army where buried in a new piece of land where Valanor was. So does that mean that they didn't die and that there are still living decendants of them undergroud in a country on the other side of the mortal great sea? and if so, Did they have warrior women in the great armada or do the decendants just spring out of holes in the ground? or are they sleeping until the last battle?

Totally useless subjuct but I thought it would be an interesting advanced question for us Tolkien scholars to boggle our minds over until we rediscover the question of did the balrog have wings? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
