Description
Calmacil – Toloquëa Aran Ondonóreo (Calmacil, the eighteenth King of Gondor)

Calmacil was the younger son of king Atanatar II Alcarin , he succeeded his childless brother Narmacil . When he became king in 1294, he was already an old man, so he retained his son Minalcar (Rómendacil) as Regent, who had already been appointed by Narmacil. Calmacil's uneventful reign lasted only ten years.

Here we have the last one of those infamous three lazy kings of Gondor. Just like his predecessors, Calmacil is shown comfortably sitting and similarly to Narmacil, there is a sword hanged on the wall (the name Calmacil means "shining sword"). The royal couple is depicted as old people, because Calmacil inherited the crown only late in his life. The decoration style is inspired by his shining name but generally uses also some variations of previous designs (as Calmacil himself was of a disposition similar to his father and brother).
