May i ask why there were two seperate kingdoms in the first place. Apart from the land between the Greyflood and the Isen all the land was under the control of the Numenorean exiles. Why didn't it exist as one empire divided into two regions instead of two countries ruled by the same royal family? Couldn't Elendil have been hgh king with Isildur as steward of Arnor and Anarion as steward of Gondor. I suppose this had something to do with Isildurs untimely death, alas in the same way as Brian Boru.
