Tar-Telperiën was the tenth monarch of Númenor and its second Ruling Queen. She was the eldest child of Tar-Súrion.[1]
During her rule in Númenor, momentous events took place in Middle-earth: in S.A. 1600 the Rings of Power were forged,[2] in S.A. 1693 the War of the Elves and Sauron began[3] and in S.A. 1700 a great navy from Númenor is sent to Lindon[4] to aid the Elves and utterly routs the forces of Sauron at the Battle of the Gwathló.[5]
She refused to wed, and so died without an heir. Tar-Telperiën was long-lived even for one of Elros' line, and appeared to be reluctant to give up her power: unlike all the rulers of Númenor before her, she did not surrender the Sceptre to her successor a few years before her death, but instead waited until just prior to it.[1]
Tar-Telperiën's nephew Minastir, the son of her younger brother Isilmo, succeeded her and ruled as Tar-Minastir.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Telperien is a Quenya name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it could mean "Silver-daugther" as a compound of telpë ("silver") and the feminine suffix -ien ("-daughter"); though it could also be a feminised form of Telperion, the name of the White Tree of Valinor.[6] Like all the rulers of Númenor who took their royal names in Quenya, Telperien added the prefix tar- ("high") to her name when she received the Sceptre.[7]
