Hi

My name is François Gervais. I was born in 1976 in Montreal, Canada. I'm a restaurant owner since 2012 in Quebec City (province of Quebec, Canada). I'm an amateur genealogist and cartographer in my spare time, and I'm also the moderator of the r/UsefulCharts group and creator of the r/MonarchyChartsXL group, both on Reddit. I'm also a big fan of Tolkien and all his work.

Since 2020 I have been drawing family trees mainly covering the early, high and late Middle Ages, the Renaissance up to modern times. In 2023 I started to adapt them for publication on Wikipedia.

Please note that I do not sell charts. I make all my charts available for free download in a variety of formats.

Thanks and enjoy my work.

'''Elros''' was the son of [[Eärendil]], the great hero of the [[First Age]], and his wife [[Elwing]]. He was the twin brother of [[Elrond]] and both were [[Half-elven]].<ref name="Earendil">{{S|Earendil}}</ref> Choosing to live as a mortal Man, he became a lord of the [[Edain]] and the first [[King of Númenor]], taking the name '''Tar-Minyatur'''.

== History ==
Elros and Elrond were born in the [[Mouths of Sirion|Havens of Sirion]] during the darkest days of the First Age, when the forces of [[Morgoth]] controlled most of [[Beleriand]]. When the twins were just six years old, the [[Sons of Fëanor]], bound by their [[Oath of Fëanor|Oath]], assaulted the Havens in the [[Third Kinslaying]] since they desired the [[Silmaril]] on the [[Nauglamír]] held by Elwing. Eärendil was at sea, and Elwing escaped with the Nauglamír and jumped into the sea.<ref name="Earendil"/> [[Maedhros]] and [[Maglor]], the only Sons of Fëanor to survive the assault upon the Havens, took Elros and Elrond as captives<ref name="Earendil"/> and abandoned them in a cave with a fall of water over the entrance instead of killing them.<ref name=L211>{{L|211}}, answer to Question 4</ref> But Maglor took pity upon Elrond and Elros and rescued them and a mutual love grew between Maglor and the young twins afterwards.<ref name="Earendil"/> Elros was given the name "Elf of the spray" or "star-foam" (see [[#Etymology|Etymology]]), because Elros was found playing in the water of the waterfall.<ref name=L211/>
[[File:Catherine Karina Chmiel - And Maglor took pity upon them.jpg|thumb|left|''And Maglor took pity upon them'' by [[Catherine Karina Chmiel]]]]

After the [[War of Wrath]] and the destruction of Beleriand, the Valar gave the twin ''[[Peredhil]]'' the choice over their race and fate. Elros chose the [[Gift of Men]],<ref name="Earendil"/> but still, he was blessed with a life longer than any other mortal Man's.

In the first years of the [[Second Age]], the Valar had prepared for the Edain, as a reward for their struggle against Morgoth, a large island in the western part of the [[Great Sea]]. Now by right a lord of the [[Edain]]<ref group=note>His father, Eärendil, was a descendant of the Lords of all Three Houses</ref>, Elros led his people across the sea, guided by the [[Star of Eärendil]] his father, to the island. For this the island was called [[Elenna]] meaning "starwards", and was the closest of mortal lands to the [[Blessed Realm]], though Men were [[Ban of the Valar|forbidden to go]] so far westward that the coasts of Elenna were no longer visible. The Valar also gave the Edain substantially longer lifespans than those of Men remaining in Middle-earth, and Elros and his descendants had the longest lives of all the people.<ref name=Akallabeth>{{S|Akallabeth}}</ref>

Elros founded the realm of [[Númenor]] and became its first [[King of Númenor|King]] in the year 32 of the Second Age. He took a royal name in [[Quenya]], ''Tar-Minyatur'', thus setting a tradition for the kings of Númenor to take a royal name in Quenya.<ref name="Kings"/> He brought with him the [[Ring of Barahir]], the [[Dramborleg|Axe of Tuor]], the [[Bow of Bregor|Bow]] of [[Bregor]] and [[Thingol]]'s sword [[Aranrúth]] as family heirlooms.<ref>{{UT|3a}}, Note 2</ref>

The city of [[Armenelos]] including the tower and the citadel were constructed during the reign of Elros.<ref Name=Akallabeth/>

Elros had four children: three sons, [[Vardamir|Vardamir Nólimon]], [[Manwendil]], and [[Atanalcar]]; and one daughter, [[Tindómiel]].<ref>{{UT|earlier}}</ref><ref group="note">Elros' children [[Tindómiel]], [[Manwendil]] and [[Atanalcar]] are referred to by name only in the family tree "The Earlier Generations of the Line of Elros", which is included in only some editions of ''Unfinished Tales''.</ref> After living five centuries, and ruling Númenor for 410 years, Elros died and his son Vardamir Nólimon took up the [[Sceptre]] of Númenor as [[Vardamir|Tar-Vardamir]]. But because Elros had lived so long, Tar-Vardamir was already old, and was thus only a titular King: he immediately surrendered the Sceptre to his son, [[Tar-Amandil]].<ref name="Kings"/>

== Etymology ==
In a letter from 1958 [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] explained that ''Elros'' is a [[Sindarin]] name that he was given, because he was found playing in the water of a waterfall that fell over the entrance to a cave and that the name is a compound of ''eld>ell'', the Sindarin term for the High-Elven exiles, and ''ros'' based on primitive Elvish ''rossē'' meaning "dew, spray (of fall or fountain)".<ref name=L211/> In an essay that was probably written between 1959 and 1960 J.R.R. Tolkien translated the name as "Star-glitter".<ref>{{WJ|Author}}, Note 26, second paragraph about Hadhodrond</ref> In an excursus on the names of Finwë's descendants that was written in 1968 or later J.R.R. Tolkien translated the name as "star-foam".<ref name=Shibboleth>{{PM|Finwe}}, paragraph about the names of Elrond and Elros, p. 349</ref><ref>{{S|Index}}, entry ''Elros''</ref> The Sindarin elements are ''[[el]]'' ("star") and ''[[ros]]'' ("foam").<ref name=Elements>{{S|Elements}}, entries ''êl'' and ''ros''</ref> In an essay on "The Problem of Ros" that was written in 1969 or later J.R.R. Tolkien considered the possibility that ros was a Bëorian word for "foam" and for the "white crest of waves", but he rejected this idea, because of the Sindarin name Cair Andros.<ref>{{PM|Ros}}, p. 369</ref>

==Other names==
The [[Quenya]] form of ''Elros'' was '''''Elerossë'''''.<ref name=Shibboleth/>

After Elros ascended the throne of Númenor he was known by the [[Quenya]] title, '''''Tar-Minyatur''''' in the Scroll of Kings.<ref>{{UT|Kings}}, first paragraph</ref> Tar-Minyatur means "High first-ruler" in [[Quenya]]<ref>{{PM|Finwe}}, paragraph about Itarilde (Idril), p. 348</ref>, consisting of ''[[tar]]'' ("high") + ''[[minya]]'' ("first") + ''[[tur]]'' ("master, lord").<ref>{{S|Elements}}, entries ''[[minas]]'', ''[[tar|tar-]]'', ''[[tur]]''</ref> All the Kings and [[Ruling Queen of Númenor|Queens]] after Elros also used the prefix ''Tar-'' in their royal titles in the Scroll of Kings.<ref>{{UT|Kings}}, first paragraph and I to XXV</ref>

In early versions of the [[legendarium]], Elros' [[Adûnaic]] name was ''Indilzar'',<ref>{{PM|Akallabeth}}, p. 164</ref> which was changed to '''''Gimilzôr'''''. However, in later versions of the Númenórean tale ''[[Ar-Gimilzôr|(Ar-)Gimilzôr]]'' was the name of the twenty-third King of Númenor.<ref>{{SD|Drowning}}, pp. 380-1 (§20)</ref>
