Erukyerme

One of three annual celebrations held on the summit of the Meneltarma in the heart of Numenor (the others being Erulaitale and Eruhantale). The Erukyerme was held at the beginning of each spring. The King, followed by a silent crowd, would climb the mountain on foot, and at its peak utter a prayer for the approaching year. Traditionally, three Eagles, known by the Numenoreans as the Witnesses of Manwe, would hover over the King and his people at this time.
