Talk:2994: Númenor Margaritaville

Looks like the king of island life is Ar-Pharazôn https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Ar-Pharazôn 172.71.146.59

Awww this is great. I have just watched the trilogi with my kids (their first time) over the last three weekends, watching the Return of the King over two days finishing just a few hours ago. And then first now I look on yesterdays comic, and in the explanation there is so many references to the things I have just seen right now. Specifically the line "the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise." where silver glass is in the song "into the west" at the end (which I very much like) and the swift sunrise part is said by Gandalf to Pippin during the battle in Gondor. Love this coincidence. Because I'm a big fan of LoTR and of xkcd. :-) --Kynde (talk) 21:27, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

But there's this one particular harbour / So far but yet so near / Where I see the days as they fade away / And finally disappear. RAGBRAIvet (talk) 00:55, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Seemingly xkcd has actually done a rare (silent) comic correction; in the new version, Númenor is indeed written with an accent, and Tar-Pharazôn has become Ar-Pharazôn. So part of the explanation needs to be updated. 172.71.160.93 13:15, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
