These
things
took
place
in
the
days
of
Tar
-
Ciryatan
the
Shipbuilder
,
and
of
Tar
-
Atanamir
his
son
;
and
they
were
proud
men
,
eager
for
wealth
,
and
they
laid
the
men
of
Middle
-
earth
under
tribute
,
taking
now
rather
than
giving
.
It
was
to
Tar
-
Atanamir
that
the
Messengers
came
;
and
he
was
the
thirteenth
King
,
and
in
his
day
the
Realm
of
Numenor
had
endured
for
more
than
two
thousand
years
,
and
was
come
to
the
zenith
of
its
bliss
,
if
not
yet
of
its
power
.
But
Atanamir
was
ill
pleased
with
the
counsel
of
the
Messengers
and
gave
little
heed
to
it
,
and
the
greater
part
of
his
people
followed
him
;
for
they
wished
still
to
escape
death
in
their
own
day
,
not
waiting
upon
hope
.
And
Atanamir
lived
to
a
great
age
,
clinging
to
his
life
beyond
the
end
of
all
joy
;
and
he
was
the
first
of
the
Numenoreans
to
do
this
,
refusing
to
depart
until
he
was
witless
and
unmanned
,
and
denying
to
his
son
the
kingship
at
the
height
of
his
days
.
For
the
Lords
of
Numenor
had
been
wont
to
wed
late
in
their
long
lives
and
to
depart
and
leave
the
mastery
to
their
sons
when
these
were
come
to
full
stature
of
body
and
mind
.
Then
Tar
-
Ancalimon
,
son
of
Atanamir
,
became
King
,
and
he
was
of
like
mind
;
and
in
his
day
the
people
of
Numenor
became
divided
.
On
the
one
hand
was
the
greater
party
,
and
they
were
called
the
King
’
s
Men
,
and
they
grew
proud
and
were
estranged
from
the
Eldar
and
the
Valar
.
And
on
the
other
hand
was
the
lesser
party
,
and
they
were
called
the
Elendili
,
the
Elf
-
friends
;
for
though
they
remained
loyal
indeed
to
the
King
and
the
House
of
Elros
,
they
wished
to
keep
the
friendship
of
the
Eldar
,
and
they
hearkened
to
the
counsel
of
the
Lords
of
the
West
.
Nonetheless
even
they
,
who
named
themselves
the
Faithful
,
did
not
wholly
escape
from
the
affliction
of
their
people
,
and
they
were
troubled
by
the
thought
of
death
.
Thus
the
bliss
of
Westernesse
became
diminished
;
but
still
its
might
and
splendour
increased
.
For
the
kings
and
their
people
had
not
yet
abandoned
wisdom
,
and
if
they
loved
the
Valar
no
longer
at
least
they
still
feared
them
.
They
did
not
dare
openly
to
break
the
Ban
or
to
sail
beyond
the
limits
that
had
been
appointed
.
Eastwards
still
they
steered
their
tall
ships
.
But
the
fear
of
death
grew
ever
darker
upon
them
,
and
they
delayed
it
by
all
means
that
they
could
;
and
they
began
to
build
great
houses
for
their
dead
,
while
their
wise
men
laboured
unceasingly
to
discover
if
they
might
the
secret
of
recalling
life
,
or
at
the
least
of
the
prolonging
of
Men
’
s
days
.
Yet
they
achieved
only
the
art
of
preserving
incorrupt
the
dead
flesh
of
Men
,
and
they
filled
all
the
land
with
silent
tombs
in
which
the
thought
of
death
was
enshrined
in
the
darkness
.
But
those
that
lived
turned
the
more
eagerly
to
pleasure
and
revelry
,
desiring
ever
more
goods
and
more
riches
;
and
after
the
days
of
Tar
-
Ancalimon
the
offering
of
the
first
fruits
to
Eru
was
neglected
,
and
men
went
seldom
any
more
to
the
Hallow
upon
the
heights
of
Meneltarma
in
the
midst
of
the
land
.
Thus
it
came
to
pass
in
that
time
that
the
Numenoreans
first
made
great
settlements
upon
the
west
shores
of
the
ancient
lands
;
for
their
own
land
seemed
to
them
shrunken
,
and
they
had
no
rest
or
content
therein
,
and
they
desired
now
wealth
and
dominion
in
Middle
-
earth
,
since
the
West
was
denied
.
Great
harbours
and
strong
towers
they
made
,
and
there
many
of
them
took
up
their
abode
;
but
they
appeared
now
rather
as
lords
and
masters
and
gatherers
of
tribute
than
as
helpers
and
teachers
.
And
the
great
ships
of
the
Numenoreans
were
borne
east
on
the
winds
and
returned
ever
laden
,
and
the
power
and
majesty
of
their
kings
were
increased
;
and
they
drank
and
they
feasted
and
they
clad
themselves
in
silver
and
gold
.
In
all
this
the
Elf
-
friends
had
small
part
They
alone
came
now
ever
to
the
north
and
the
land
of
Gil
-
galad
,
keeping
their
friendship
with
the
Elves
and
lending
them
aid
against
Sauron
;
and
their
haven
was
Pelargir
above
the
mouths
of
Anduin
the
Great
.
But
the
King
’
s
Men
sailed
far
away
to
the
south
;
and
the
lordships
and
strongholds
that
they
made
have
left
many
rumours
in
the
legends
of
Men
.
In
this
Age
,
as
is
elsewhere
told
,
Sauron
arose
again
in
Middle
-
earth
,
and
grew
,
and
turned
back
to
the
evil
in
which
he
was
nurtured
by
Morgoth
,
becoming
mighty
in
his
service
.
Already
in
the
days
of
Tar
-
Minastir
,
the
eleventh
King
of
Numenor
,
he
had
fortified
the
land
of
Mordor
and
had
built
there
the
Tower
of
Barad
-
dur
,
and
thereafter
he
strove
ever
for
the
dominion
of
Middle
-
earth
,
to
become
a
king
over
all
kings
and
as
a
god
unto
Men
.
And
Sauron
hated
the
Numenoreans
,
because
of
the
deeds
of
their
fathers
and
their
ancient
alliance
with
the
Elves
and
allegiance
to
the
Valar
;
nor
did
he
forget
the
aid
that
Tar
-
Minastir
had
rendered
to
Gil
-
galad
of
old
,
in
that
time
when
the
One
Ring
was
forged
and
there
was
war
between
Sauron
and
the
Elves
in
Eriador
.
Now
he
learned
that
the
kings
of
Numenor
had
increased
hi
power
and
splendour
,
and
he
hated
them
the
more
;
and
he
feared
them
,
lest
they
should
invade
his
lands
and
wrest
from
him
the
dominion
of
the
East
.
But
for
a
long
time
he
did
not
dare
to
challenge
the
Lords
of
the
Sea
,
and
he
withdrew
from
the
coasts
.
Yet
Sauron
was
ever
guileful
,
and
it
is
said
that
among
those
whom
he
ensnared
with
the
Nine
Rings
three
were
great
lords
of
Numenorean
race
.
And
when
the
Ulairi
arose
that
were
the
Ring
-
wraiths
,
his
servants
,
and
the
strength
of
his
terror
and
mastery
over
Men
had
grown
exceedingly
great
,
he
began
to
assail
the
strong
places
of
the
Numenoreans
upon
the
shores
of
the
sea
.
In
those
days
the
Shadow
grew
deeper
upon
Numenor
;
and
the
lives
of
the
Kings
of
the
House
of
Elros
waned
because
of
their
rebellion
,
but
they
hardened
their
hearts
the
more
against
the
Valar
.
And
the
nineteenth
king
took
the
sceptre
of
his
fathers
,
and
he
ascended
the
throne
in
the
name
of
Adunakhor
,
Lord
of
the
West
,
forsaking
the
Elventongues
and
forbidding
their
use
in
his
hearing
.
Yet
hi
the
Scroll
of
Kings
the
name
Herunumen
was
inscribed
in
the
High
-
elven
speech
,
because
of
ancient
custom
,
which
the
kings
feared
to
break
utterly
,
lest
evil
befall
Now
this
title
seemed
to
the
Faithful
over
-
proud
,
being
the
title
of
the
Valar
;
and
their
hearts
were
sorely
tried
between
their
loyalty
to
the
House
of
Elros
and
their
reverence
of
the
appointed
Powers
.
But
worse
was
yet
to
come
.
For
Ar
-
Gimilzor
the
twenty
-
second
king
was
the
greatest
enemy
of
the
Faithful
.
In
his
day
the
White
Tree
was
untended
and
began
to
decline
;
and
he
forbade
utterly
the
use
of
the
Elven
-
tongues
,
and
punished
those
that
welcomed
the
ships
of
Eressea
,
that
still
came
secretly
to
the
west
-
shores
of
the
land
.
Now
the
Elendili
dwelt
mostly
in
the
western
regions
of
Numenor
;
but
Ar
-
Gimilzor
commanded
all
that
he
could
discover
to
be
of
this
party
to
remove
from
the
west
and
dwell
in
the
east
of
the
land
;
and
there
they
were
watched
.
And
the
chief
dwelling
of
the
Faithful
in
the
later
days
was
thus
nigh
to
the
harbour
of
Romenna
;
thence
many
set
sail
to
Middle
-
earth
,
seeking
the
northern
coasts
where
they
might
speak
still
with
the
Eldar
in
the
kingdom
of
Gil
-
galad
.
This
was
known
to
the
kings
,
but
they
hindered
it
not
,
so
long
as
the
Elendili
departed
from
their
land
and
did
not
return
;
for
they
desired
to
end
all
friendship
between
then
:
people
and
the
Eldar
of
Eressea
,
whom
they
named
the
Spies
of
the
Valar
,
hoping
to
keep
their
deeds
and
their
counsels
hidden
from
the
Lords
of
the
West
.
But
all
that
they
did
was
known
to
Manwe
,
and
the
Valar
were
wroth
with
the
Kings
of
Numenor
,
and
gave
them
counsel
and
protection
no
more
;
and
the
ships
of
Eressea
came
never
again
out
of
the
sunset
,
and
the
havens
of
Andunie
were
forlorn
.
