Númendil was the father of Amandil and grandson of Eärendur of Andúnië, the fifteenth Lord of Andúnië.
Biography[]
He came to the throne after his father (whose name is unknown) and became the seventeenth Lord of Andúnië. By the time when Tar-Palantir was King of Númenor, both Lord and King desired a return to the old traditions of Númenor, and they were close friends and political allies. Tar-Palantir would at times travel to see Númendil in Andúnië, and as a Councillor of the Sceptre, Númendil would often journey to the King's seat at Armenelos.[1]
Númendil's son Amandil inherited the Lordship of Andúnië, and through him, Númendil would become the ancestor of all Kings of the Dúnedain in Middle-earth.
Other versions of the legendarium[]
In earlier versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, Númendil was intended to have a second son, Elentir.[2] This notion, however, was eventually abandoned.
