Re: Beleriand

The drowning of Beleriand is a little bit of a mystery. Did it happen abruptly or gradually and how? JRRT in some earlier writings suggests that Beleriand was not completely destroyed by the War of Wrath but that the "job" was finished by waves, etc. at the time Numenor was destroyed. There is a thread discussing this a few pages back. Hard to reach concrete conclusions.
