Description
Eldacar was son of Valandil, grandson of Isildur. He ruled as the fourth King of Arnor for 90 years, beginning III 249. He died 252 years old after a life without any significant events.
His name means "Elf Helm" in Quenya. (Pronunciation: emphasis on "e" with the second "a" short.)
Eldacar was the father of Arantar who succeeded him as the High King.
Twelve-hundred tears later, young Prince Vinitharya received the name Eldacar of Gondor, though it is not known if the King of Arnor played a role in the choosing of that name.
