Tar-Palantir



         


In the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien, Tar-Palantir (3035 - 3255 S.A., r. 3177 - 3255 S.A.) was the 24th ruler of Númenor. His Adûnaic name was Inziladûn, which means "Flower of the West".

Tar-Palantir's father Ar-Gimilzôr, whom he succeeded, was an opponent of the Valar and the Elves. But Inzilbêth, the queen, taught her son to be an Elf-friend.

Upon assuming the throne Inziladûn took a traditional Quenya name, Tar-Palantir, to signify a turning from the anti-Valar policies of his immediate predecessors. His Quenya name means "Far-sighted". He was opposed by his younger brother, Gimilkhâd.

Tar-Palantir's daughter, Míriel, would have followed his policies, but her rightful place as Queen of Númenor was usurped by her husband, Ar-Pharazôn.
