Sceptre of Númenor

The Sceptre of Númenor was the royal emblem of the Kings and Ruling Queens of Númenor.
== History ==
Presumably made for Elros Tar-Minyatur, the Sceptre was the main emblem of Númenórean royalty, as the rulers did not wear a crown. In the early centuries of the Second Age the Sceptre was passed from ruler to heir when the King or Queen abdicated and went into retirement. However in later years beginning with Tar-Atanamir, the Kings ceased to pass the Sceptre on, holding it until death. 
The Sceptre was taken by Ar-Pharazôn on the Great Armament and buried with him in the Caves of the Forgotten. Afterwards in the Exile realm of Arnor, the Sceptre continued to be the emblem of royal authority, although this was the Sceptre of Annúminas, formerly the silver rod of the Lords of Andúnië.
== Appearances ==
The Scepter of Númenor is seen in the Amazon series, . As Míriel, the queen-regent, goes to grab the scepter at her coronation, Pharazôn launches his machinations. Someone in the audience calls her the queen of lies, Míriel tries to defend herself, but Eärien then enters and points to the Palantir, accusing the regent of ruling the kingdom with forbidden elven magic. Panic sets in, and many people fight. Suddenly, a giant eagle, purported to be a symbol of blessing of the Valar, lands in front of the room. Pharazôn advances and is accepted by the eagle. The entire room chants his name and brandishes his sword as a sign of acceptance of his supposed destiny.
