Amandil

Leader of the Royal Party in Númenor, Amandil came to be the eighteens and last Lord of Andúnië.

In the youth of Amandil he had great friendship with Pharazôn who had kinship with him through his fathers mother Inzilbêth.

When Pharazôn married Tar-Míriel and he took the Scepter of Númenor he became corrupted by his fathers counsel and Pharazôn and Amandil became estranged. Amandil, who were the leader of the Royal Party in Númenor though not openly, worked against the ban of the Valar and for the old traditions whereas Pharazôn followed the counsel of his father and that of his own will. Pharazôn deprived the Lords of Andúnië of their lordship due to their support of the old King Tar-Palantir and he commanded Amandil to dwell in Rómenna. Andúnië he took and made it to his chief harbour of his ships but he did not dismissed him from his Council or in any other way molest him.

In 3261 Pharazôn brought Sauron to Númenor and over the years he was being convinced by the lies of Sauron.

In 3319 Amandil departed into the West in an attempt to reach Valinor and save Númenor. He set sail in a small ship at night from Rómenna steering East, like it was his goal to reach Middle-Earth, but soon he turned and journeyed into the West. He did never return and no sign ever came wether he had reached his aim or not. With him were three servants dear to him. There are no names of these servants.
