Tar-Súrion

Tar-Súrion (1174 - 1574 S.A., r. 1394 - 1556 S.A.) was the ninth ruler of Númenor, succeeding his father Tar-Anárion. Tar-Súrion had two older sisters, but they were said to have no interest in ruling, so he became King. His name means "Wind-son".

The idea of the forging of the Rings of Power was born during his reign. He was succeeded by his oldest child, his daughter, Tar-Telperiën. Through his second child and oldest son Isilmo, he was grandfather to Tar-Minastir.
