Title: Profanation
Author: Dwimordene
Summary: Economic Imperialism does Middle-earth 3. Piety does not justice make.
Rating: T
Characters: OCs
Prompts: Day 15 prompt: "But in the midst of the land was a mountain tall and steep, and it was named the Meneltarma, the Pillar of Heaven, and upon it was a high place that was hallowed to Eru Ilúvatar, and it was open and unroofed, and no other temple or fane was there in the land of the Númenóreans."
Personal Insanity Prompts: From Himring: “We're sort of encouraged to believe that "the Meneltarma ritual" was the right approach for the Numenoreans and falling away from it was heresy. Is that so? Yes/No/Maybe/Sometimes? Additional elements: a descendant of the House of Beor who is not of the line of Elros (such as e.g. Erendis), a mallorn nut.” Linda Hoyland asked for justice, the economy, and kaftans (okay, and also Faramir and fatherhood, which didn’t happen).
Warnings: Relies on some fanon I’ve developed about the Haradrim over time. Probably the one that you can read the quickest to get the gist is this drabble set: Strange Fire.
