Ar-Inziladun

The name of the twenty-fourth ruler of Numenor, Heir to Ar-Gimilzor, in his native Adunaic language. For historical reasons, the name - which means "Flower of the West" - was rarely used in practice. Until this King's time, it had been the tradition for several generations to take a royal name in the native Numenorean language, but Inziladun reversed this, and returned to the older convention of using the Quenya language. He renamed himself Tar-Palantir, "The Far-Sighted", and under his rule the realm of Numenor returned to its ancient and noble traditions, at least for a time.
