XXV Tar-Calion Ar-Pharazôn

After Ar-Pharazôn, who perished in the Downfall of Númenor, the direct line of Kings was broken. Númenórean rule continued in Middle-earth through the Dúnedain kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor established by Elendil, son of the last Lord of Andúnië, senior surviving descendant of Elros through Silmariën the daughter of Tar-Elendil, and his heirs.

1 Tar-Calmacil was the first to officially use an Adûnaic name. The Númenórean nobility appears to have not spoken Adûnaic at all in the first centuries. Most names prior to Calmacil are therefore likely not contemporary, but were invented by the Númenóreans after they had become alienated from the Elves.

2 Upon his father Elros' death, Vardamir did not take up the Sceptre of the King but instead abdicated in favour of his son. However, he is counted as the second ruler having nominally ruled for one year.

3 Silmariën would have been Ruling Queen by later changes in the laws. She founded the line of the Lords of Andúnië.

4 Usurper, not counted as rightful King.

5 Tar-Ardamin is omitted from the list published in The Lord of the Rings, but he does appear in Unfinished Tales. In Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings, Tar-Calmacil was followed by Ar-Adûnakhôr. His name was apparently dropped by error.

6 As the eldest child and according to laws of succession changed since the reign of Tar-Aldarion, Míriel was the rightful Queen, but was forced to wed her cousin Ar-Pharazôn who usurped the throne.

[edit] Line of Elros family tree

Below is an incomplete family tree of the Line of Elros as compiled from information in Unfinished Tales. Please note that Tar-Ancalimë is the daughter of Tar-Aldarion, though that is not totally apparent, and that Tar-Meneldur and his sisters are the children of Tar-Elendil, not Eärendur.
