Their main city was named Osgiliath, built on the river on which they had entered their new land, but each of the brothers also had a fortress of their own: Minas Ithil for Isildur and Minas Anor for Anárion. They founded their own southern realm in this region, named Gondor, "Land of Stone", for the great feats of stonework they performed. Įlendil's sons Isildur and Anárion were driven southwards by the Sea, and found their way at last up through the Mouths of Anduin into the Great River in a region where a great Númenórean port, Pelargir, had stood for centuries. Their great cities were at Annúminas on Nenuial, and Fornost on the North Downs, and they thus established a realm that came to be known as Arnor, "Land of the King", because High King Elendil dwelt there by Lake Evendim. Įlendil and his people landed in Lindon and from there they spread out across Eriador. There they established in the North-west the Númenorean realms in exile, Arnor and Gondor, in S.A. The raging waters that followed the Downfall had driven their ships eastward until they came to the ruined shores of Middle-earth. These were Elendil and his sons Isildur and Anárion, the last leaders of the Faithful, who had fled from the port of Rómenna and were aboard ship when Númenor was swallowed by the Sea.
