Standing Silence

The Standing Silence was a tradition observed by the Dúnedain of Gondor commemorating the lost of Númenor.
==Description==
At the beginning of a meal, it was customary for the Men of Gondor to stand and look to the west in silence. As Faramir described it; "We look toward Númenor that was, and beyond to Elvenhome that is, and to that which is beyond Elvenhome and will ever be".
The silence was observed by the Rangers of Ithilien at Henneth Annûn and at the feast honouring the Ring-bearers at the Field of Cormallen.
It is unknown if the tradition was observed by the Dúnedain of Arnor as well.
