Known as Tar-Miriel (Q. "Jewel Maiden") in Quenya, Zimraphel was the eldest child of Tar-Palantir and heir to throne of Númenór.
History[]
During the failing health of her father, Míriel ruled as Princess Regent. The King's Men grew powerful again in secret, and thus Míriel put on a public appearance of being mostly arrogant, proud, and agnostic like her ancestors, while in secret working to promote the Faithful while being able to cling onto political power. (N)
Her cousin, Ar-Pharazôn, usurped her throne by forcing her into marriage — against her will, and contrary to Númenórean law, naming her Zimraphel. He then imprisoned her in Armenelos as his Queen. Waves swallowed her as she attempted to scale the stairway up the Meneltarma during the Akallabêth in S.A. 3319.
