Tar-Calmacil was Númenor's eighteenth monarch. Born the eldest son of Tar-Alcarin in S.A. 2406, he ruled from S.A. 2737 until his death in S.A. 2825. His fleets conquered much of Endor's coastal territory, forcing Sauron of Mordor to confine his conquests to the inlands. The Dark Lord hated him, but never succeeded in deposing him. Calmacil's successful reign, however, proved auspicious, for he showed great favor to the King's Men, and it was in his day that the name of Númenor's King was first spoken in Adûnaic.
