Ostoher

Ostoher was the son of King Anardil of Gondor, and became the seventh King of Gondor upon his father's death in TA 411.
== Biography ==
He moved his summer residence from the capital city of Osgiliath to the fortress of Minas Anor in TA 420. During this time he rebuilt and greatly added to it and over time it would become a city as well as a fortress, until after the Great Plague of 1636 when it became the capital of Gondor, over twelve-hundred years later.
In the last two years of his reign the Easterlings started attacks on Gondor. Due to his advanced age, he sent his son Tarostar to meet the Easterling threat, who was victorious.
Ostoher died in TA 492 at the age of two-hundred seventy after a rule of eighty-one years and was succeeded by Tarostar, who took the name Rómendacil (east-victor).The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iv): "Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion"
== Etymology ==
