Little is known of Tar-Telperiën's reign, but it is stated in ''[[Line of Elros (document)|The Line of Elros]]'' that she refused to wed, and so died without an heir. During her rule in Númenor, momentous events took place in [[Middle-earth]]: the [[Rings of Power]] were forged and the [[War of the Elves and Sauron]] began. Despite the ancient alliance between the [[Dúnedain]] and the [[Elves]], Tar-Telperiën did not interfere in these matters; her successor had to deal with Middle-earth's troubles.

== Etymology ==
== Etymology ==
Tar-Telperiën's name is in [[Quenya]]. It is difficult to translate exactly; it appears to be a feminization of ''[[Telperion]]'', one of the [[Two Trees]] of [[Valinor]]. Alternatively, her name could mean "Silver One" (from ''tyelpë'' 'silver' and ''-iën'', a feminine ending). Like all the rulers of Númenor who took their royal titles in Quenya, Telperiën added the suffix ''tar-'' ('high') to her name when she received the [[Sceptre]].
''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]].<ref>{{webcite|author=Paul Strack|articleurl=https://www.eldamo.org/content/words/word-3185842677.html|articlename=Q.

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]
