'''Hyarmendacil I''', born '''Ciryaher''', was the fifteenth [[King of Gondor]].


His original name was '''Ciryaher'''. He was the fourth and last Ship-king.
==History==
Ciryaher was the son of King [[Ciryandil]], one of the [[Ship-kings]].


Ciryaher began his reign reorganizing Gondor's armies and in 1050 T.A. he openly declared war on the [[Haradrim]] and defeated them. The Haradrim were forced to recognize him as their lord and king. After this victory he called himself ''Hyarmendacil'', meaning ''South-victor''.
The [[Umbar|Haven of Umbar]], to the far south of Gondor, had been captured by Ciryaher's grandfather [[Eärnil I]], but had since proved difficult to hold. Ciryandil was slain during a siege of the Haven by the [[Haradrim]] and Ciryaher ascended the throne.

The passes of [[Mordor]] were well guarded, so evil found no chance in Hyarmendacil's reign. No one dared to contest his power and Gondor was at peace for the rest of his long reign of 134 years.

Hyarmendacil I, born Ciryaher, was the fifteenth King of Gondor.

History

Ciryaher was the son of King Ciryandil, one of the Ship-kings.

The Haven of Umbar, to the far south of Gondor, had been captured by Ciryaher's grandfather Eärnil I, but had since proved difficult to hold. Ciryandil was slain during a siege of the Haven by the Haradrim and Ciryaher ascended the throne. He began his reign by reorganizing Gondor's armies and in T.A. 1050[1] he openly declared war on and conquered the men of Harad who acknowledged the overlordship of Gondor. After this victory he took the name Hyarmendacil, meaning "South-victor".[2]

Hyarmendacil's reign brought Gondor to its greatest extent and power.[3] For the rest of his one hundred and thirty-four year reign Gondor was at peace; the passes of Mordor were well guarded, and no one dared contest his power.

Hyarmendacil was the last of the Ship-kings. He was succeeded by his lazy son Atanatar II Alcarin.
