King of Númenor

The King of Númenor (Ad. Âru n'Adûnâi – "King of the Anadûnians") was the royal title of twenty-two rulers of Númenor (there were also three Ruling Queens).
==History==
The royal line began with Elros Tar-Minyatur, the brother of Elrond, who founded the House of Elros, and ended with Ar-Pharazôn (Tar-Calion) and Ar-Zimraphel (Tar-Míriel).
The symbol of the Kings of Númenor was the Sceptre, which in the early centuries of the Second Age was passed on by the rulers to their heirs when they abdicated and went into retirement. However, in later centuries, beginning with Tar-Atanamir, the Sceptre was held until death.
Initially the Kings and Queens took their names in Quenya, however as the Númenóreans turned against the Valar and use of the Elven tongues, the kings took their names in Adûnaic, beginning officially with Ar-Adûnakhôr, the twentieth king. The Quenya names continued to be used in the Scroll of the Kings out of fear of breaking with tradition.
After Ar-Pharazôn, who perished in the Downfall of Númenor and was imprisoned in the Caves of the Forgotten, the title was abandoned and the direct line of Kings was broken. However, Númenórean rule continued in Middle-earth through the exiled Dúnedain, now living in the Realms in Exile, Arnor and Gondor, established by Elendil the Tall, who was the senior surviving descendant of Elros through Silmariën, the daughter of King Tar-Elendil.
