Tar-Aldarion


Tar-Aldarion is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He appears primarily in "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife", a story published in "Unfinished Tales", and the only extensive story of Númenor before its fall. He was the sixth King of Númenor, succeeding his father, Tar-Meneldur. He was a great mariner, and during his time Númenor started to invest more in its navy and strengthened its presence overseas in Middle-earth. He wedded Erendis in , but

Erendis


Erendis (771–985) is the fictional wife of King Tar-Aldarion of Númenor in J. R. R. Tolkien's "Unfinished Tales" and, as such, the Queen Consort of Númenor. Erendis was beautiful, fell in love with Aldarion as a young maiden, and was approved by his parents as a suitable consort. Erendis married the seafarer Aldarion in 870. Some time before he had presented to her a white gem which she then used to wear in a fillet of silver. Because of this jewel she was later also

home. By the time Aldarion returned even Meneldur's best attempts could not seal the breach. Meneldur died in S.A. 942, at the age of 399 years. Meneldur's eldest sister Silmariën would have been Ruling Queen by later changes in the laws. She founded the line of the Lords of Andúnië. Tar-Aldarion (S.A. 700–1098, r. S.A. 883–1075) was the sixth King of Númenor, succeeding his father, Tar-Meneldur. Tar-Aldarion is an ambiguous figure in the history of Númenor and the Dúnedain.

his inattention to Númenor. They became estranged after the birth of their daughter and only child, Ancalimë, who was born in S.A. 873. They separated in S.A. 882; thus Aldarion had no queen-consort when he became King the following year. When Aldarion returned from a long journey to Middle-earth, he presented a letter from Gil-galad of Lindon to his father, King Tar-Meneldur. In this letter Gil-galad described the new threat of Sauron which was descending upon Middle-earth and asked

He paid more and more attention to the ship and his voyaging, causing the marriage to irretrievably break down by , when he returned to Númenor aboard "Hirilondë". On that occasion "Hirilondë" carried an important diplomatic communication from Gil-galad; Aldarion delivered the sealed letter to his father, Tar-Meneldur. The following year, after considering the letter, Tar-Meneldur abdicated, and Aldarion became the sixth King of Númenor. The

During this time he also met Erendis, a Númenórean lady of great beauty and intelligence, but who was not descended from the royal Line of Elros. Encouraged by his mother, Erendis and Aldarion began a long and troubled courtship, each harbouring doubts about the idea of marrying the other, yet drawn to each other in their hearts.

Erendis desired the whole loyalty of the man to whom she would be wed and feared that she could never overcome Aldarion's love of seafaring and travel, and her fears were well-founded. Aldarion was reluctant to marry at all, feeling little pressure of time because of his long life as a member of the Line of Elros. Yet almost against his will he was drawn to Erendis. In time they did marry, in , but Aldarion was ever driven to the sea, and Erendis resented both his absences and

of the extent of the danger, he abdicated in favour of his son, who he thought would be better able to deal with this new threat because of Aldarion's many travels and knowledge of Middle-earth. Aldarion thus became King of Númenor far earlier than would have been the normal case. The year was . As king, Aldarion gave aid to Gil-galad, established new havens and bases (of which Vinyalondë was most notable) on the coasts of Middle-earth, and laid the groundwork in Númenor for

Though Aldarion was a careful steward of Númenor's resources, planting more trees than he cut for his ships and fleets, he did so out of a sense of duty and conservation of resources for the future, not out of love for the trees and forests. Under the reign of Aldarion wild forests were replaced by plantations

There is no mention [in Tolkien's writings] of any further development of the alliance with Gil-galad, or of the sending of the aid that he requested in his letter to Tar-Meneldur; it is indeed said that ""Aldarion was too late, or too early. Too late: for the power that hated Númenor had already waked. Too early: for the time was not yet ripe for Númenor to show its power or to come back into the battle for the world."" — Christopher

His absences from his kingdom (on voyages to Middle-earth) were unprecedented, and began as early as the first couple of years of his reign. His first regent was Hallatan, a distant relative in the royal family. Aldarion's efforts as king only worsened his conflicts with his wife, who had little care or interest for the world beyond Númenor, and who disdained seafaring and feared, and at

According to the narrative, King Tar-Meneldur at one point refused to bless his son Aldarion's sailing to Middle-earth and forbade his kin to set "oiolairë" upon the ship; and Erendis won Aldarion's love by doing this instead. She set it several times later, though her

In due time Ancalimë did succeed her father, who passed the Sceptre to her, in accordance with Númenórean custom, some years before his death. Much about Aldarion's later years and exactly which actions he took as a king to help Gil-galad and counter Sauron's threat is unclear, as Tolkien never finished the tale of Aldarion and Erendis, although Christopher Tolkien provided some hints about his later history in "Unfinished Tales".

Twisted in her way by the war between her parents, and perhaps having inherited many of the worse traits of each, Aldarion's daughter, Ancalimë, grew up to be beautiful, but stubborn and wayward. Her father changed the inheritance laws of Númenor so that his daughter could inherit the Sceptre after him, doing this in part out of paternal feeling but probably more as a move in his war with his wife.

Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in
