Introducing Numenor!
As soon as I saw the PSI for this I pet, I immediately thought of the White Tree of Gondor from The Lord Of The Rings.
His room will have to wait until a spend promo.
Here is a little information on the the tree and you can see where the name comes from!
First White Tree
The first White Tree of Gondor came from a fruit that Isildur, at great personal risk, managed to steal from Nimloth the Fair,
the White Tree of Númenor, before it was destroyed at Sauron's insistence. He suffered many wounds at this mission,
and he came near death, but when the
first leaf of the planted fruit opened in the spring, Isildur was healed of his wounds.
This sapling was brought to Middle-earth on Isildur's ship, and it was eventually planted in Minas Ithil
before the house of Isildur. But when Sauron returned to Middle-earth, he launched a sudden attack
that captured Minas Ithil, and he destroyed the White Tree.
Second White Tree
Isildur escaped the capture of Minas Ithil, taking with him a sapling of the White Tree to Minas Anor where it
was planted in the citadel courtyard in memory of his slain brother Anárion. This tree died in 1636 during the Great Plague.
Third White Tree
A third sapling was planted in the year 1640 of the Third Age by King Tarondor.
This one lasted until the year 2872 and the death of the Ruling Steward Belecthor II.
At this time no seedling of the tree could be found as the tree had rarely flowered after the line of the Kings
had failed and therefore no fruit was produced. It was left standing after its death "until the King returns".
Fourth White Tree
When Aragorn became king he discovered (with Gandalf's help) a sapling of the White Tree upon the slopes of
Mindolluin, high above the city, which he reverently planted in the Court of the Fountain. The dead tree was
removed from the court but was placed in the Tombs of the Kings with all the honour that would normally be
accorded a fallen monarch. In June of the year 3019 of the Third Age the sapling was already laden with blossom.
