Re: Staying with the Narn i hin Húrin...

Well, when he was enthroned, he took the Quenya name Tar-Palantir just like his ancestors before they broke with the Elves. He regretted their behaviour and wanted to renew the friendship with the Elves.
But if you´re asking why he chose the name &quot;He who looks afar&quot;, I can only guess: he made the prophecy that when the newly planted White Tree will be hewn, the line of Númenorean kings would perish also; maybe this makes him a farseer, at least he was a clairvoyant.
