Isildur
Isildur was the second king of Numenor and elder son of Elendil. He founded Gondor with his brother,
Anarion.
In Numenor. he saved a fruit of the White
Tree at great risk. In Middle-earth he helped found Gondor. He fought
in the Last Alliance against Sauron. Isildur's big mistake was that after he cut
the One Ring from Sauron's finger, he took it instead of destroying it.
Isildur was the Joint King of
Gondor,
the Lord
of Ithilien, and he founded Minas Ithil. After Elendil's death, he was
High King of Arnor and Gondor. His sons were Elendur, Aratan,
Ciryon, and Valandil.
Isildur died T.A. 2.
