In Midden-Aarde stichtte Elendil de koninkrijken Arnor in het noorden en Gondor in het zuiden. Elendil werd aldus koning over de verenigde rijken van Arnor en Gondor. Elendil zelf trok naar Arnor, en stichtte daar de stad Annúminas, terwijl zijn beide zoons in Gondor de steden Minas Anor en Minas Ithil stichtten met als hoofdstad Osgiliath.
Isildur's father Elendil landed in the north, founding the realm of Arnor, while Isildur and his brother Anárion landed in the south and established the realm of Gondor, which they ruled jointly until Anárion was killed in Mordor. Isildur settled on the east bank of the Anduin and established the city of Minas Ithil (which would later be named Minas Morgul), as well as the province of Ithilien.ParaCrawl Corpus ParaCrawl Corpus
