Rómendacil I

In Third Age 490 the first invasion of Easterlings fell upon Gondor. Tarostar defeated the invaders in Third Age 500 and drove them from Gondor. After his victory against the Easterlings Tarostar assumed the name Rómendacil, "East-victor".

After the first assault of the Easterlings, Rómendacil ordered that the "Tradition of Isildur" be set down in a sealed scroll, to be delivered by the Steward of Gondor to the King's heir before his crowning.

Rómendacil's triumph did not end the Easterling threat. In Third Age 541 Rómendacil was killed in a battle against new hordes of Easterlings. His son Turambar avenged him and conquered much territory eastwards.

Tarostar is Quenya. Its meaning is not glossed, but as Paul Strack explains, it might mean "King of the Lands" and be a compound of tar ("high, king") and the plural form of sta ("land").

Rómendacil is Quenya. It means "East-victor". It is a compound of rómen ("east") and -(n)dacil ("victor").
