MÃ*riel was the rightful queen - Pharazôn broke the Numenorean law and married his first cousin so that he could take the throne. And you don't call him a usurper?

Anyway, she didn't survive the disaster, either. So this leaves, rightfully...

The Lords of Andúnië

Well... talk about "ill-fated", no?


And as for Elendil's line? One word.... Aragorn


Lords of Andúnië win!


And, not just because *i* say so...

but because TOLKIEN says so!!!

And i think the Professor deserves the final word.


That said, i do appreciate your rather revisionist creativity!
