Tar-Palantir
In the
fictional universe of
J. R. R. Tolkien,
Tar-Palantir was the 24th ruler of
Númenor. He attempted to return his people to the ways of the
Valar and the
Elves, but his younger brother, Gimilkhâd, and Gimilkhâd's son
Ar-Pharazôn opposed his policies. His father
Ar-Gimilzôr, whom he succeeded, was an opponent of the Valar and the Elves, but Ar-Gimilzôr's Queen,
Inzilbêth, taught her son Tar-Palantir to be an Elf-Friend. The
Adunaic version of his name was
Ar-Inziladun.
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.
