Sorry, Celebriel Esgaledhel, that's not correct. There was a King of Gondor who reigned longer than 134 years.

Here's the question again:
Who had the longest reign of all the Kings of Gondor?

Bonus question:
In your opinion, what was the wisest thing he did?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-17-2005, 04:39 AM

It was Tarondor, and he reigned for 162 years.

The smartest thing he did? Moving the King's House from Osgiliath to Minas Anor.

Hi Nilpaurion Felagund!

Yes it was Tarondor, the twenty-seventh King of Gondor and nephew of King Telemnar, who had lost all his children in the Great Plague.

Personally, I thought the smartest thing he did was to plant a seedling of the White Tree of Gondor - but I guess I'm rating symbolism over practical living concerns.

Your turn.

Well, the transfer thing was symbolism-laden, too. It meant "I don't want to live too near that place." *points to East*

Enedwaith, which creature has the longest sight range?

Eagles?

Well, assuming Manwë is a creature (

), that would be him when he sits on Taniquetil with Varda at his side.
