Where do the books detail that? I've read them, but I never caught that before. I thought the Dunedin were just another ethnicity of men. That's pretty cool though.

It's most throughly detailed in The Silmarillion, but you'll find some scattered references to Númenor in the main trilogy. Essentially, the Númenorians were deceived by Sauron shortly before their end, but some refused to abandon Eru (god), and were blessed

Oh, I haven't read the Silmarillion or the Hobbit yet! Are they good books? Idk why I stopped at just the trilogy, considering how much I loved them.

They're outstanding books, if you enjoyed LotR – beware, though, that the Hobbit is a bit more childish and Silmarillion is somewhat disjointed if taken as a single story (it's more of a collection of different stories)

Great! I'll start on them when I finish the Worldwalker series that I'm reading right now. Which should I read first?

IMO, start with The Hobbit, that way you can get a better look into Tolkien's mind before plunging into his legendarium.

Oop! Too late. I started The Silmarillion last night!

Haha, I hope you enjoy it. Good reading!
