A
proud Dúnadan, Calimehtar was the second son of King
Calimmacil of Gondor (T.A. 1294-1304) and younger brother of
Minalcar (Rómendacil II). He resided in Pelargir rather than
Osgiliath, for he was Gondor's High-captain of the Ships. It was
hardly surprising when he supported the disenchanted Sea-lords of
Lebennin during his brother's reign. Castamir, Calimehtar's
grandson, would later induce the Kin-strife (T.A. 1432-47).
Principle Items[]
The following items were the hereditary possessions of the Kings of Gondor. All of them except the "Helm of Elendil" were lost when King Eärnur disappeared in TA. 2050.
- Crown-helm of Gondor — (Helm of Atanatar): white (mithril alloy) helmet of High Helmet design, shaped like a high, pointed dome applied with jewels.
- Helm of House Andúnië — A Númenórean war-helm of the High Helmet design, a stylized high dome with two applied wings of Sea-birds. This was the Helm of Elendil and the original crown of Gondor.
- Mace — (Mace of Anárion): mithril-inlaid eog Holy Mace topped with an inset aquamarine. The gem glowed upon wielder's mental command and, depending on the level of concentration, could emit a bright beam that shone afar. The mace was a originally a slaying-weapon when used against Sea-drakes, Kraken, or Fell-turtles, and was used as the sceptre of Gondor.
- Shield — (Shield of Anarion): gold- and silver-inlaid black ithilnaur shield. Set atop the black metal field, the silver inlay formed the symbol of Gondor: the White Tree and the Seven Stars.
