'''Ciryaher''', the son of King [[Ciryandil]], was to become the last of [[Gondor]]'s four [[Ship-king|Ship-kings]]. The [[Haven of Umbar]] had been captured by his grandfather [[Eärnil I]], but Gondor had been hard put to defend the haven since its capture. Ciryaher's father was himself lost in an assault by the [[Haradrim]], holding the defence of Umbar. Ciryaher was a patient man, and slowly built his fleets and his armies in the north until he was sure of victory. At last, thirty-five years after his father's loss, he launched an unstoppable assault on the southern lands, and utterly conquered the [[Men of Harad]]. From this time, Ciryaher took the name ''[[Hyarmendacil I|Hyarmendacil]]'', signifying 'South-victor'.
