Son of Eärnil II , and last King of Gondor . In his youth, he played an important part in the defeat of the Witch-king of Angmar at the Battle of Fornost . The Witch-king returned to Minas Morgul , and issued a challenge to Eärnur, who answered it and, entering Minas Morgul , was lost. After him, the realm of Gondor was ruled by hereditary Stewards , the first of whom was Mardil Voronwë .
Notes
1
The date of Eärnur's birth appears only in The History of Middle-earth volume XII, The Peoples of Middle-earth . It cannot therefore be considered completely reliable.
2
Eärnur was taunted into travelling to Minas Morgul by the Lord of the Nazgûl in III 2050 . He was never heard from again, and it is presumed that he died there, but the details of his fate were never discovered with certainty.
