The Ships of the Faithful.\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Nine Ships there were: four for Elendil, and for Isildur three, and for Anarion two; and they fled before the black gale out of the twilight of doom into the darkness of the world. And the deeps rose beneath them in towering anger, and waves like unto mountains moving with great caps of writhen snow bore them up amid the wreakage of the clouds\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sea is once again the focus of the dramatic apocalyptic vision of \"The Ships of the Faithful\", where the remnant of Numernoran nobility desperately try to escape the destruction of their once great island. The white light on the ships identifies them as sanctified and protected in the midst of the chaos, and we see Sauron's dark temple on the island beyond, the symbol of the fateful rebellion which has resulted in this outpouring of divine wrath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed.
