Greetings piosenniel:

The son of Silmarien and Elatan was the first Lord of Andúnië. If memory serves, from this lineage sprang Elendil, Isildur, and Anárion. (I'd need to check my sources more closely to double-check the second part of my answer! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

Good answer!

His name was Valandil, and from him sprang the Kings of Gondor and Arnor in Middle-earth.

Do you have a question, please?

Thank you for filling in the gaps in my answer, piosenniel. * bows *

What is the significance of 39?

*sharp intake of breath*

I know this one!

But I'm going to see if someone else picks up on it.

OK this is really a long shot - but Aldarion was 39 when he became the kings heir ?

I don't think that is the answer Gandalf desired.

In 3319, Ar-Pharazôn launched his attack from Andunië and Eldalondë in Númenor against Valinor - a vast armada of nearly all the ships of Númenor.

39 days later, he surrounded Eressëa and camped at Túna that night. Next day, midmorning, the world was broken, and Aman was removed from the circles of the world. The King and all his great navy perished.

Indeed, piosenniel's is the answer I was seeking. As for Telchar's response, I don't recall, but seeing as how Tolkien had a fondness for the number 39, I'm open to any answer that the answerer can provide documentation for. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
