Atanatar lived in ease and splendour, such that people said "precious stones are pebbles in Gondor for children to play with." The King loved luxury and it was during his reign that the original Crown of Gondor was replaced by a jeweled helm.[3] However, due to the King's indolence nothing was done to maintain the power that his ancestors had built and the watch upon Mordor was neglected.[4]
