Tar-Minastir was the 11th ruler of Númenor. He had a high tower built and spent much of his days gazing toward the West. "For the yearning was grown strong in the hearts of the Númenóreans. He loved the Eldar but envied them" (p. 220, Unfinished Tales). Minastir did not turn a blind eye to the East however. He sent aid to Gil-galad in the coming war I will detail in the next post. Minastir ruled for 138 years.
