Description Hi, it's been a while.

I decided to delete the old genealogies I made like 5 years ago. Mostly because I was being foolish and using art that didn't belong to me and I was using without permission, I was young and didn't know very well the rules of the game, sorry for that. On the other hand, I did not like them anymore. But don't worry, I'll do them all again, and 10 times better, and this time there will be a printable version that many people have been asking for. This is the first one featuring the Kings of Gondor. Hope you like it.

The House of Anárion was the extended house of the nobles and royalty of Gondor , descended from its first Kings . The house included the Kings of Gondor and their heirs, of course, but also their siblings and their descendants. On several occasions, the direct line of descent failed in Gondor, and other members of the house were called on to take up the Kingship. Most notable among these was Meneldil  himself, the first King to rule Gondor in his own right, who took up the throne on the death of his uncle Isildur .

There are examples of members of the Royal House  being granted important military roles. For example, the great Gondorian  general Eärnil  was a member of the Royal House, being a descendant of Telumehtar , great-grandfather to the reigning King Ondoher . Indeed, when Ondoher and his heirs were lost, Eärnil  eventually succeeded to the Kingship himself.

One important political role, however, was closed to members of the Royal House: that of Steward. When Rómendacil I  created the Stewardship, he specified that no member of the House should ever take the role. The descendants of the House of Húrin , who would eventually take on the hereditary Stewardship of the realm, were noted as being of high Númenórean  blood, but they were not members of the Royal House itself.

Oh my gosh, I literally thought I was the only person on earth who sank this deep into fandom!  I made a family tree too, it's here:  imgur.com/J4xwjk4

Yours is prettier though, but I think I can safely say mine is a little bit more comprehensive.

Of course, but the original intention was to make this a print and I couldn't make an endless cascade like you did so I had to manage to design it in a logical space (A2 size). Unluckily I lost the PSD files of this and I can't make the print anymore unless I design it all again. That frustrated me to continue making this genealogies but someday I will do it again (Arnor, Númenor, The Stewards of Gondor and the Houses of the Edain). Glad you like it though!

Let me know if you want to collaborate when you do!  I love compiling genealogies.  I have a chart around here for the languages of Valinor and Middle-earth.

To avoid legal problems for using those faces. And because Tolkien never wrote about their true appearance.
