no. Think of a prominent Numenorean king and you should get it.

Can I ask what's a chieftain?
Stop laughing!  I just need an explanation, because I can't really translate it... (and therefore I can't understand it) |

Not laughing here...
I'm sure playing these games in another language than you speak and read the stories is tough.A 'chieftain' is another word for leader... but let's say not a 'king' - for the purposes of this question certainly. |

ok, just wanted to know. I have no idea what the answer is. The first is the son of Arvedui. Aranarth his name? I'm not sure about the second.
