Tar-Calmacil

Tar-Calmacil was the 18th ruler of Númenor and was a great sea captain winning many shores upon Middle-earth. This furthered Sauron's hate but he did not yet act against Númenor. He ruled for 88 years until his death in 2825 Second Age. "In the days of Tar-Calmacil the name of the King was first spoken in Adûnaic; and by the King's Men he was called Ar-Belzager" (p. 222, Unfinished Tales).
