Other Versions of the Legendarium
In Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings, Ar-Adûnakhôr was listed as following Tar-Calmacil[4] while in the more detailed The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor from the Unfinished Tales the next ruler was Tar-Ardamin. According to Christopher Tolkien, Tar-Ardamin was simply omitted and did belong in the list.[5]
