            “They had three Kings?” asked Estel of Erestor, intrigued by the idea.

            “Oh, yes—Elendil, the father, was High King and ruled mostly here in the north, in Arnor, from his city of Annúminas or from his fortress of Fornost.  His sons, Isildur and Anárion, ruled together in the South Kingdom, which was called Gondor, Isildur from Minas Ithil and Anárion from Minas Anor, although the capitol of all was Osgiliath.”

            “Sounds confusing.”

            “Oh, when Arnor was divided into three Kingdoms after Eärendur decided he wished for each of his sons to be a King it was far worse.”
