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.
