It is speculated that the reason Thorongil left before Ecthelion II died. I've always been interested in the raid on Umbar led by Thorongil under the orders of Ecthelion II, and therefore had glory in battle that displeased Denether II.

When Elendil fell, Isildur departed to take up the high kingship of his father, and committed the rule of the south in like manner to the son of his brother. He did not relinquish his royalty in Gondor, nor intend that the realm of Elendil should be divided forever.
