By F.A. 587, Beleriand was mostly destroyed and submerged under the sea from the War of Wrath of the Valar against Morgoth. Only a small section of East Beleriand remained, and was known as Lindon. In addition, fulfilling a prophecy, the graves of Túrin Turambar and Morwen survived as the island Tol Morwen.
The War of Wrath, or the Great Battle, was the final conflict in the Wars of Beleriand fought between the Host of the West and the forces of Morgoth. The devastation caused by the two sides clashing left Beleriand mostly destroyed and in the end most of the land sank beneath the waves.
In the First Age, there was this area of Middle-earth called Beleriand up near what's called Lindon in the show. Beleriand is utterly destroyed toward the end of the First Age, which is why it's not on most Middle-earth maps you've seen.
Beleriand was part of the western part of middle earth, over which the noldor fought Melkor in the silmarillion. It was said to have mostly been destroyed in the war of wrath of the valar against Melkor at the end of the first age. Beleriand is a part of middle earth which is part of arda.
In the year FA 587, Beleriand was mostly destroyed by the War of Wrath of the Valar against Morgoth. Only a small section of Ossiriand remained, and was known as Lindon.
It was the largest battle to ever occur in Arda. It resulted in the expulsion of Morgoth from Arda and the ruin of Thangorodrim, but the violence and tumult of the clashes between the forces of the Valar and of Morgoth shattered the northwestern portion of Middle-earth, Beleriand, causing it to sink beneath the ocean.
Númenor was a kingdom of Men, established on an island that was brought up out of the sea by the Valar in the early Second Age, after the final ruin of Beleriand. The culture of the Númenóreans originated there shortly afterwards.

The Elf Ecthelion leads the charge against the Orcs, and fights Gothmog, the greatest Balrog; they wound each other and both fall into the king's fountain in Gondolin; both drown.
The location of the elven kingdom of Gondolin eluded Morgoth for centuries. He knew it existed but, until a traitor revealed it to him, he could never discover it. This was due to its secluded mountainous location, secret point of entry, and a strict policy of allowing no foreigners to enter.
Maeglin resisted at first, but eventually decided to betray Gondolin when Morgoth promised him riches, the crown of Gondolin, and Idril's hand in marriage.
It is taken to the Valar in the West by Eärendil, heir of Beren and Lúthien, as a token of repentance for Fëanor's rebellion. The Valar then set this Silmaril as a star in the sky. The other two gems remain in Morgoth's hands, until they are taken from him by a servant of the Vala Manwë at the end of the War of Wrath.
What happened to the Silmarils after the War of Wrath?
The Valar then set this Silmaril in the sky as a star called Gil-Orestel. The other two gems remained in Morgoth's hands, and were taken from him only at the end of the War of Wrath. However, soon afterwards, they were stolen by Fëanor's two sons Maedhros and Maglor.
I think it's probably fair to say that the Dunadain of both Arnor and Gondor considered themselves Numenoreans in exile. Aragorn himself told Arwen on his deathbed that he was “the last Numenorean”.
For The Rings of Power, Númenórian hatred of Elves built over time out of jealously for their immortality. In The Silmarillion, Tolkien outlines the downfall of Númenor as a slow burn that began with the Ban of the Valar, which entailed the first Númenórians agreeing to never sail west toward Valinor.
History. Aragorn is a direct descendent of the Faithful Numenoreans from the line of Elendil. Because he is a Numenorean, he is related distantly to Elrond through Elros. Aragorn was born in the year TA 2931 to the Ranger Arathorn and his wife Gilraen.
Melkor is the most powerful of the Valar but he turns to darkness and is renamed Morgoth, the primary antagonist of Arda. All evil in the world of Middle-earth ultimately stems from him. One of the Maiar of Aulë betrays his kind and becomes Morgoth's principal lieutenant and successor, Sauron.
6 Gandalf. As previously stated, Gandalf is a Maia and is therefore superior to Elves regarding power. Still, this isn't to say that an elf couldn't develop enough skill and power to defeat a Maia. As a bearer of one of the Three Elven Rings (Nenya), Galadriel would have an edge against Maiar like Saruman and Radagast.
His theft of the Silmarils and wars against Elves and Men encompassed much of the history of the late First Age. Eventually, Morgoth was bound in chains by the Valar and thrown into the Void, leaving the permanent damage his evils had done, and his former lieutenant Sauron, to trouble the world.
Sauron would continue to spread Morgoth's teachings after his defeat, and ultimately became the new Dark Lord in the Second and Third Ages, but Morgoth himself would never return to the kingdoms of Middle Earth.
However, after centuries of prosperity many of the inhabitants ceased to worship the One God, Eru Ilúvatar, and rebelled against the Valar, resulting in the destruction of the island and the death of most of its people.
