And another stupid question, but I thought that adding this on to the one on Beleriand was kind of stupider...
So what's the difference between Numenor and Gondor/Anor? Or is there a difference? I've been told so many different things on Tolkien's early ME that I can't keep it straight anymore. Like, I've heard that there isn't a difference, that Gondor is just a completely new, adopted name for Numenor. I've also heard that they have next to nothing to do with each other, save for ties in lineage.
So what's true?

I will answer this fully later, but in a nutshell, Gondor is a second, slightly smaller-scale version of Numenor, and Numenor is the historical kingdom on the star-shaped island, of which Elros was the first king.
