Kings of Númenor

A list of their names in original Adûnaic when given, otherwise translated to Classical Adûnaic.

While organized alphabetically, each of the names have a number in parenthesis appended after the name to indicate in which order the ruler reigned over Anadûnê.  It is also divided into three periods of time: Arcadian, Golden, and Imperial.  Arcadian is the growing period of Númenor, maturing in its characteristics recognizable later on.  Golden covers the period of their exploration and expansion into Middle-Earth, growing materially strong while still remaining within the favor of the Valar.  Imperial covers the rulers from the time of their formal rejection of the Valar to the sinking of Númenor.

This collection also takes a few liberties in correcting the odd name to completely match classical Adûnaic, such as ensuring all [e] vowels are correctly represented as [ê].
