First Age
Tar-Ciryatan
Tar-Ciryatan was the twelfth king of Numenor,
succeeding Tar-Minastir.
At this time, the Kings became greedy.
Rebellion and division of the Numenoreans began. Nazgul
first appeared
during his reign, suggesting that strengthening dark influences were
behind this falling of the Kings. Nazgul were the wraiths of the Black
Numenoreans, referring to their taking of the rings of Sauron and
corrupting their souls.
Tar-Ciryatan was succeeded by Tar-Atanamir.
