b'The first of two episodes on the Akallab\\xeath, the story of N\\xfamenor. At the outset of the Second Age, the Valar reward the Edain with wisdom, long life and their own private island in the Great Sea. The N\\xfamen\\xf3reans become legendary seafarers, sailing east to the edge of Arda and bringing knowledge back to Middle-earth. But the Valar forbid them to sail west in search of the Undying Lands, and soon the N\\xfamen\\xf3reans begin to yearn for the one thing they cannot have: immortality. We look into Tolkien\'s essays and letters to see what happens to mortals who do come to Aman, and dabble in genealogy with questionable results.\\xa0
