'''Telemnar''''s Kingship was one of [[Gondor]]'s shortest and most tragic. He succeeded to the throne after his father [[Minardil]] was brutally slain in a sudden [[Corsair]] attack on [[Pelargir]], but he was not to reign for long. After just two years on the throne, the [[Great Plague]] in [[T.A.]] 1636 came out of the east and ravaged Gondor. Telemnar and all his children died of the sickness; he was succeeded by his nephew, [[Tarondor]] (the son of Telemnar's younger brother Minastan).

History

Telemnar came to the throne unexpectedly when his father Minardil was killed in a surprise raid by Corsairs of Umbar. In response, he began outfitting a fleet to reduce the Haven of Umbar, but this work was halted when the Great Plague struck his realm.[1] The King and all his children died in T.A. 1636,[3] as did a large number of the people of Gondor. The White Tree withered and died, Osgiliath was partially deserted and began to fall into ruin, and the watch on Mordor ceased.[4]

With Telemnar and all his heirs deceased, the Kingship passed on to his nephew Tarondor, the son of Telemnar's younger brother Minastan.[2]

Etymology

Telemnar is Quenya for "Silver Flame", from telep "silver" and nár "flame".
