One of the sons of King [[Siriondil]] of [[Gondor]]. His elder brother was [[Tarannon]], who took the title [[Falastur]] and ruled as [[King of Gondor]] after his father. Tarannon's Queen [[Berúthiel]] was sent into exile. Tarannon therefore died childless, and so it was Tarciryan's son who succeeded Tarannon to the throne. This was [[Eärnil I]], the second of the [[Ship-king|Ship-kings]] after Tarannon himself.
