He stood near death for many months, but when the fruit of the White Tree began to sprout, he awoke and was recovered from his injuries. For this deed, Isildur received much praise. The guards discovered and attacked him and, although receiving grave injuries, he managed to escape with the fruit. Isildur disguised himself and went secretly to the King's Court and took a fruit from Nimloth. Isildur learned that Sauron wanted Ar-Pharazôn to cut down Nimloth, the White Tree that had come from the Undying Lands. He used their desire for immortality and power to convince them to renounce Eru and worship Morgoth.
Sauron allowed himself to be taken because he wanted to corrupt the Númenóreans in order to bring about their downfall. In SA 3262, Ar-Pharazôn, the King of Númenor, took Sauron captive and brought him to Númenor. Among these men were the Lords of Andúnië. They became estranged from the Elves and from the Valar and they neglected the worship of Eru, the one who had created them.Ī small group of Númenóreans remained friendly with the Elves and faithful to Eru and the Valar. Over time, the Kings of Númenor grew to resent their ancestor's choice and desired eternal life for themselves. Įlros, the Half-elven and the first King of Númenor, had chosen the life of Men, while his brother Elrond chose the life of Elves. The Lords of Andúnië were descended from the Kings of Númenor through Silmariën, the daughter and eldest child of the fourth King of Númenor, Tar-Elendil. Their father was Elendil and their grandfather was Amandil, the Lord of Andúnië. They lived at the haven of Rómenna on the east coast of the island of Númenor.
His younger brother Anárion was born in SA 3219. Isildur was born in Númenor in the year SA 3209 of the Second Age. 2.1 The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
