the line of elros ♚ royalty of númenor ♚ headcanon disclaimer          Following his bloody ascension to the throne, Tar-Ardamin abandoned the use of Quenya as the state language of Númenor and declared himself Ar-Abattârik, nineteenth King of Anadûnê. He was an adept politician, skilled at shifting blame and keeping his enemies quiet, and though on the surface the Faithful received a reprieve from his father’s harsh policies, Ar-Abattârik’s subtler laws would come back to harm them in the future.          Abattârik married the dancer Lómindillë, a soft-hearted woman who was happy to enjoy the luxury of royalty without examining its cost. He named her Arî-Lôminzil, and they lived in contentment with their son Adûnakhôr, feeding his ambition with lyrical promises of exaltation beyond what the Valar could offer.          Before he died taking the fall for his brother, Elenmacil Gimilzagar wed Isilwendë, a painter who saw him as her muse. Known as Nilûphêr when she moved to Armenelos with her husband, she bore him one daughter, Arphazêl, but soon their happiness was cut short when Gimilzagar slew his father the king at Abattârik’s request and was in turn slain himself.          This dreadful series of events left Nilûphêr and Arphazêl deeply shaken, and they removed themselves to the west of Elenna to mourn in privacy. There they turned to the ways of the Faithful, blaming the King’s Men for Gimilzagar’s death. Eventually Arphazêl took the Quenya name Aranel and wed the thirteenth Lord of Andúnië, becoming an ancestor of the future queen Inzilbêth. -- source link
