Anardil
Biographical information
Physical description
Anardil (TA 136 - TA 411, r. TA 324 - TA 411) was the sixth King of Gondor.
He ascended the throne after the death of his father Eärendil in TA 324. No notable events were recorded for his reign, except that he was the last king to dwell in Osgiliath during the summer, as his son rebuilt and expanded Minas Anor.[1]
Anardil died in TA 411 aged 324 after a rule of eighty-seven years and was succeeded by his son Ostoher.
A much earlier Anardil was the birth-name of Tar-Aldarion.
Etymology 
Edit
The name Anardil means "Sun friend" in Quenya from Anar meaning "the Sun" and the ending -dil meaning "devotion" (Devoted to the Sun).
