Ar-Sakalthôr

The twenty-second Ruler of Númenor

Rulers of Númenor

The son and heir of Ar-Zimrathôn of Númenor. He followed the tradition of his grandfather Ar-Adûnakhôr, and took his King-name in the Adûnaic tongue (the Elvish equivalent is recorded as Tar-Falassion).

Ar-Sakalthôr ruled Númenor for sixty-nine years. He was succeeded by his son, who took the Sceptre as King Ar-Gimilzôr.


Notes

1

The Adûnaic name Sakalthôr is not directly translated, but the Elvish version of the name, Falassion, clearly includes falas, 'coast' or 'shore'. Assuming that Falassion is intended as a direct translation, then it might be taken to mean 'of the coasts', or alternatively as something like 'son of the coast'. Presumably, Sakalthôr carries a similar meaning, though it may not be intended as an exact translation.
