| | Eldacar of Gondor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After ascending the throne in 1432 T.A. he reigned for five years when he was deposed and driven from Osgiliath into exile to Rhovanion by his far relative Castamir the Usurper in a civil war called the Kin-strife. | | | Eldacar had no ships at his disposal (for Castamir was the Lord of Ships of Gondor) and Castamir's sons finally fled to Umbar. | | | He besieged Pelargir where Castamir's sons held out the last resistance. |

| | Yet Castamir's cruelty was to prove his downfall, as many Dúnedain chaffing under the Usurper's iron rule fled north to the Court of the exiled King, swelling the number of Eldacar's followers until at last Eldacar deemed the time had come to regain the throne from the hated Usurper. | | | With Eldacar gone Castamir assumed the throne, proving himself a cruel and tyrannical King, putting to death Ornendil, the son and heir of Eldacar. | | | From his base at Pelargir, Castamir held power over all the sea-ward regions of Gondor and saw himself as the inheritor of the proud legacy of Númenor. |

| | The Usurper did little to recommend the Council's concurrence with this petition; for immediately upon his arrival in the great haven, Castamir commanded Caramir his cousin to seize and occupy the Hall of the Faithful, that most sacred precinct of southern Gondor, in order that it might be made a citadel of perfidy. | | | At first taken aback by Telcontar's unexpectedly bold words, Castamir looked in wonder upon the ancient blade now unsheathed before him. | | | Castamir had been wounded by an assassination attempt upon his entry into the city on Loëndë, and decided to stay his return to Pelargir until it was healed. |

| | The request: Castamir the Usurper, 21st king of Gondor and establisher of Umbar as a seperate nation from Gondor, or his sons and/or wife. | | | Castamir had camped on the Pelennor, though he could have stayed in the City; he would not leave the battlefield until the city surrendered. | | | He heard the tales sitting at her feet in a sun-lit courtyard, toy soldiers scattered in a circle around him. |

| | The chief of them was his distant relative Castamir the Usurper, Lord of Ships, who in 1437 usurped the throne, forcing Eldacar into exile. | | | Eldacar managed to kill Castamir at a battle at the Battle of Erui, but Castamir's sons and many of their supporters fled south to Umbar. | | | Not only did Gondor lose the city of Umbar for four centuries and gained a new enemy in the Corsairs of Umbar, descendants of Castamir's sons, but also many of the Númenóreans of purest blood were killed during the civil war, leaving Gondor weakened. |

| | Eldacar was to succeed his father and become the King, but Castamir the Usurper, being in blood closer to the crown (for Eldacar was born being of a lesser race on his mother's side), rebelled against this and the great civil war in Gondor, the Kin-Strife, came to hand. | | | Many evil deeds did Castamir and his descendants do upon Gondor throughout the ramaining years of the Corsairs power. | | | Now Castamir, Captain of the Ships, Captain of the Fleets, was followed by many, and eventually caused Eldacar to flee to his mothers kin in the North. |

| | Ithilien, Moon Over Gondor |
| | Ithilien became important again when Eldacar returned from exile in 1447 to confront Castamir the Usurper. | | | Castamir's reign was only the beginning of the decline in Ithilien's fortunes. | | | Although there must have been Northmen living in Ithilien, its people were probably just sick and tired of Castamir, who was more popular with the people from the coastlands. |

| | Along with his brother Sangahyando, Angamaitë was the acknowledged heir to the tradition of piracy begun his father, Castamaitë, the grandson of Castamir the Usurper. | | | Instead of security, her marriage to the Usurpers' son left her house all the more vulnerable to Castamir's depredations, and during the traditionalist rule, her rôle was demeaned to a level little more than a palace hostage. | | | At the Crossings of Erui, were Castamir was slain, Castaher took command of his father forces and slowly retreated to Pelargir, bying time for the confederates in Lebennin to evacuate the haven. |

| | Calenardhon, too, had risen in revolt during Castamir's weakness, and most of Eldacar's chosen commanders there had died in battle or in the purges of the Usurper. | | | To make matters worse, Castamir's foreign mercenaries had settled in Cardolan in large numbers, and preyed viciously upon the Enedhwaith. | | | Finlaurë's band was distinguished from other female resistance groups because of their tactics. |
