Colourful fallen maple leaves on asphalt ground.

Huge amount of fallen leaves and acorns in a car trailer. Colourful fall foliage in the back.

The Faithful who stood against Númenor's rising darkness, without violence but with firm conviction, and ultimately preserved the best of Númenor for a kingdom in a new land?
