Talk:Tar-Aldarion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	This article is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien, his legendarium, and related topics. Please visit the project talk page for suggestions and ideas on how you can improve this and other articles. Note: Though it states in the Guide to writing better articles that generally fictional articles should be written in present tense, all Tolkien legendarium-related articles that cover in-universe material must be written in past tense.

[edit] Why this article is "notable"

Aldarion is a very notable character because there is a _whole story_ about him (and Erendis) in Tolkien's work. There is thus more information available about him than from any King of Númenor (save probably Ar-Pharazon only)

[edit] Aldarion's later years

Tolkien never completed his story. Thus all we know about his later years (after becoming King) are pretty vague (only source being Cristopher Tolkiens hints at the end of the story in Unfinished Tales.) Should we include information in those "hints" at all?
