 | | Upon the head of the man, capped with a smooth mat of brownish hair, streaked with the white that came from rulership’s stresses, was a silvery fillet bound across his brow with a single glimmering jewel, silver-white, set into it at the front. | | | Among the soldiers of Arthedain, Mellonar was considered a very vulture in his countenance, and no man argued with the opinion, for even Mellonar himself acknowledged it with his bearing. | | | Eventually, the inner defenses would fall, and Fornost would be made into a haven of vile creatures and great evil. |

| | Although Earendur must have had some sort of elite intellectual class, they need not necessarily have been the peers of their ancestors, or even of their Gondorian contemporaries. | | | Arnor could have fallen into an intellectual somnolence, in which each generation gradually shed itself of the burden of remembering the past. | | | The title vanished with Earendur, or else went into title escrow. |

| | In T.A. 1974, Arthedain was overrun by the forces of Angmar, they captured Fornost, and King Arvedui fled into the northern wastes and was lost in the Ice Bay of Forochel. | | | It is not known when Fornost was founded or when the kings of Arnor moved there from Annúminas, but it is known that the kings moved to Fornost some time before T.A. 861, when King Eärendur died, and Arnor was divided into three kingdoms with Fornost the capital of the greatest kingdom, Arthedain. | | | Tolkien, Fornost Erain (Sindarin 'Northern-fortress of the Kings' from for(n) (north) + ost (fortress); "Norbury of the Kings" in Westron) was a city of Eriador in the north of Middle-earth. |

| | The other kingdoms soon dwindled and in III 1349 Arthedain claimed dominion over the ancient regions of Arnor. | | | The fact that the first King of Arthedain's name in the Line of Kings is given as 'Amlaith of Fornost' adds colour to this invention: he is remembered by later generations as the king who moved the royal seat to Fornost. | | | The fact that Amlaith retained the royal cities of Fornost and Annuminas, all three Palantiri, and the royal demesne between the Tower Hills and the Old Forest, would also suggest a division along the lines of crown / rebel lordships. |

Fornost Erain had become the capital instead as Annúminas became depopulated. |
