Who founded Arnor?
editThe articles states
The waves carried Isildur and Anárion south to the Bay of Belfalas and the mouth of the River Anduin. They founded the realms of Arnor and Gondor in Middle-earth at the end of the Second Age.
But then a little further down it states.
Elendil founded the northern realm of Arnor and its capital city of Annúminas. His sons founded the southern realm of Gondor; Anárion founded the city of Minas Anor (later Minas Tirith) in Anórien, and Isildur founded Minas Ithil (later Minas Morgul) in Ithilien. Elendil was the High King, ruling directly over Arnor and indirectly over Gondor, via its King.
I know Tolkien had a habit of modifying history as his writings go on, but this is quite confusing. GimliDotNet (talk) 13:16, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- The second quote is right. I've removed the first one. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:15, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
