Telemnar

Telemnar was the twenty-sixth King of Gondor.
== Biography ==
Telemnar became King after his father, Minardil, died in an attack by the Corsairs of Umbar at Pelargir in TA 1634. Due to this renewed threat from the Corsairs, he immediately began building up Gondor's fleets to defeat them; but was forced to stop when the Great Plague struck.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, VII: "The Heirs of Elendil" This plague ravaged Gondor and many died; especially in Osgiliath and Minas Ithil. During the plague, both Telemnar and his children died.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands), "The Third Age" The White Tree also withered and died during this time. He was succeeded by his nephew Tarondor, the son of Telemnar's younger brother Minastan.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, VII: "The Heirs of Elendil"The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iv): "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion"
His father's reign was brief but his own reign was even briefer. He was the shortest reigning King of Gondor.
== Etymology ==
The name Telemnar was a Quenya word that was likely to have come from the words telempë, meaning "silver", and nár, meaning "flame". This would give the meaning "silver flame" to his name.
