AndGimilkhâd was strong and ungentle, and he took the leadership of those that hadbeen called the King’s Men and opposed the will of his brother as openly as hedared, and yet more in secret. Thus the days of Tar-Palantir became darkenedwith grief; and he would spend much of his time in the west, and there ascendedoften the ancient tower of King Minastir upon the hill of Oromet nigh toAndúnië, whence he gazed westward in yearning, hoping to see, maybe, some sailupon the sea. But no ship came ever again from the West to Númenor, andAvallónë was veiled in cloud. ~ The Silmarillion, Akallabêth(detail of Ancient Tower of King Minastir by Losse-elda, deviantART)#thedownfallofnumenor -- source link
