'''Tar-[[Calmacil]]''' was the eighteenth ruler of [[Númenor]]. He succeeded his father, [[Tar-Alcarin]], as King. His name means "Bright Sword", which he took in recognition of the territorial victories he had in [[Middle-earth]] as a renowned captain of Númenor.

He was also the first King to have recorded an [[Adûnaic]] equivalent of his name: [[Ar-Belzagar]]. This signaled the rise of a faction known as the [[King's Men]] who were opposed to the [[Ban of the Valar]].

There is a discrepancy in [[Tolkien]]'s writings as to Tar-Calmacil's successor: [[Tar-Ardamin]], his son, or [[Ar-Adûnakhôr]], his grandson. Specifically, in Appendix A of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Ar-Adûnakhôr is listed as his successor, but in the more expanded [[The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor]] from ''[[Unfinished Tales]]'', he is succeeded by Tar-Ardamin.

Tar-Calmacil was the eighteenth ruler of Númenor. Calmacil meant "Bright Sword", a name taken to recognize his extensive conquests along the coasts of Middle-earth. This activity angered Sauron, yet he withdrew and concentrated on building power in the East.

During his reign the King's Men called him by his name in Adûnaic: Ar-Belzagar. This was the first time that the King's name was spoken in this language.[2]
