The Lord of the Rings Online - Elrond with the Sceptre of Annúminas

Elrond with the Sceptre of Annúminas in The Lord of the Rings Online

The Sceptre of Annúminas was the chief mark of royalty of the North-kingdom of Arnor in Eriador in Middle-earth during the Third Age.

Description[]

The Sceptre of Annúminas was a silver rod originally borne by the Lords of Andúnië in Númenor, and it was patterned after the Sceptre of the King of Númenor. The sceptre of the Kings was lost with Ar-Pharazôn in the Downfall of Númenor in 3319 of the Second Age.[1] But Elendil, the last Lord of Andúnië, took his sceptre with him when he escaped from Númenor and came to Middle-earth and founded the Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor. While the Kings of Gondor wore a crown, the Kings of Arnor bore the sceptre. It became known as the Sceptre of Annúminas, the original capital of the North-kingdom.

After the North-kingdom was divided in 861 the sceptre passed to the Kings of Arthedain, and then, after Arthedain ceased to exist in 1974, to the Chieftains of the Dúnedain. Since the Dúnedain of Arnor had become a wandering people, the sceptre and other heirlooms were kept at Rivendell, in the care of Elrond. When Aragorn II came of age, Elrond withheld the Sceptre as he had not yet earned it.

By the end of the Third Age, the Sceptre of Annúminas was over 5,000 years old and was the oldest artefact made by Men in Middle-earth. On Midsummer's Eve of 3019, Elrond brought the Sceptre to Minas Tirith and gave it to Aragorn, the newly crowned King Elessar of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor.[2]

Etymology[]

The Sceptre of Annúminas was so named because the Kings of Arnor initially ruled from the city of Annúminas.

Annúminas means "tower of the west." A sceptre (pronounced 'sep-ter') is a staff held by a ruler as an emblem of authority.

In adaptations[]

In The Lord of the Rings Online, Elrond brings the Sceptre of Annúminas with him on the journey to Arwen's wedding in Minas Tirith.
