Atanatar I (Q, pron. [aˈtanatar]; T.A. 480[1] – 748,[2] aged 268 years) was the tenth King of Gondor, ruling for 81 years, from Third Age 667 until his death.
History[edit]
He was the son of Turambar, the great conqueror of the Easterlings. Atanatar's reign, however, was uneventful, and he was succeeded by his son Siriondil.[2]
Etymology[edit]
Atanatar is Quenya. It means "Father of Men".[3] It is a compound of Atan ("Man") and atar ("father").[4]
