The sister of [[Eärendur]] of [[Andúnië]] in [[Númenor]]. Lindórië was part of the tradition of the [[Faithful]] associated with the [[Lords of Andúnië]], and she passed this tradition on to her daughter [[Inzilbêth]]. Inzilbêth became Queen to King [[Ar-Gimilzôr]], one of the greatest enemies of the Faithful, but her elder son [[Inziladûn]] was of like mind with his mother. So, when Lindórië's grandson took the [[Sceptre of Númenor]], he took an [[Elvish]] name, [[Tar-Palantir]], and did what little he could to reverse the work of the King's Men.

Lindórië was one of the Faithful of Númenor, being the daughter of the fourteenth Lord of Andúnië (and the sister of Eärendur, the fifteenth Lord of that line).

Lindórië was born during the dark times of Númenor when the Númenorians, led by their Kings were turning against the Valar. However she belonged to the Faithful and instilled her beliefs in her daughter Inzilbêth, who passed these beliefs on to her elder son Inziladûn. Due to this upbringing, when Lindórië's grandson took the Sceptre of Númenor, he adopted the name Tar-Palantir in Quenya and attempted to reverse the influences of the King's Men.[1]
