| ==History==
| | [[User:Turiannerevarine/Sandbox]] |
| | |
| Originally, Elendil was[[High King of the Dúnedain|High Kings] of both [[Gondor]] and Arnor. After his death, he was followed by his son as Isildur, who retained the title of High King. His reign lasted only two years, however, and after his death the realm was split. Valandil his son claimed only the kingship of Arnor, leaving the kingship of Gondor to the house of Anárion.</p>
| |
| | |
| <p>After Eärendur the realm of [[Arnor]] was split between his three sons, founding the realms of [[Arthedain]], [[Cardolan]] and [[Rhudaur]]. The elder line of Kings continued with the '''Kings of Arthedain'''.</p>
| |
| | |
| | |
| <p>In {{TA|1349}} the descendants of Eärendur had died out in Cardolan and Rhudaur, and [[Argeleb I]] of Arthedain again claimed the title '''King of Arnor'''. The Kings of Arthedain were then added to the elder list of Kings. Argeleb, 7th King of Arthedain, is thus referred to as the 17th of the Kings of Arnor, and Arvedui was the 25th and last King of the Northern Line. </p>
| |
| | |
| <p>After Arvedui the Northern Kingdom was no more, and the line of Kings continued in the [[Chieftains of the Dúnedain]], ruling over the [[Rangers of the North]] until the realm of Arnor was restored by Aragorn II Elessar.</p>
| |
| | |
| ==Office And Duties==
| |
| | |
| The king of Arnor had similar powers and duties to those of the king of Gondor. The king would have control over the militaries of Arnor. He also had the ability to grant lands to others as fiefs or vassals. For instance, the Shire was originally a grant from the king to the hobbits. King Elessar would renew this grant upon his own accession to the throne, naming several officials of the Shire such as the [[Thain]] as a [[Counsellor of the North-kingdom]].<ref name="AppBLater">{{App|B5}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| The King would also have the legal right both to use a [[palantìr]] and to appoint someone to do so in his stead.
| |
| | |
| There were several heirlooms the King would wear or use as signs of their authority. The most famous of these the shards of [[Narsíl]], the broken sword of Elendil. Another was the [[Ring of Barahir]], received from [[Finrod Felagund]] during the Elder Days by an ancient ancestor. The final heirloom was the [[Sceptre of Annúminas]], a silver rod from the days of Numenor.
| |
| | |
| | |
| During the reign of Elessar, the [[Elendilmir]] was found in the tower of [[Orthanc]], where it had ended up after [[Saruman]] stole the body of Isildur from the [[Gladden Fields]]. Elessar would wear the fillet on his brow when he was in the North kingdom.
