Tar-Minyatur of Númenor and Galadriel of Middle-earth

The Kings of Númenor would take a name in Quenya, the High Elven Tongue. The first was Elros, son of Eërendil and brother of Elrond, who took the name Tar-Minyatur in Quenya. Elros was born 58 years before the Second Age began and died in 442 Second Age, at the grand age of 500. One of the gifts bestowed upon the Edain was a longer life span of which Elros was granted the most years. It wasn't until the coming of the Shadow that their years began to fade. Elros ruled as king for 410 years.

In the midst of his rule in Numenor a happening of some importance took place in Middle-earth. Galadriel, daughter of Finarfin, wife of Celeborn, began a sojourn. She did not leave with the Valar after the defeat of Melkor, the implication is because of love of her husband who did not wish to leave. All though her own pride was probably also a factor. They crossed into Eriador with followings from the remaining Noldor, Grey-elves, and Green-elves and dwelt by Lake Nenuial (Tolkien's son notes this would have been north of the Shire). There they became known as the Lord and Lady of the land. And sometime between 350-400 Second Age a son, Amroth, was born to them.
