Calimehtar was a noble Dúnadan, the son of Narmacil II and thirtieth King of Gondor (T.A. 1856-1936). His reign was scarred by the war with the Wainriders and the King spent much of his time campaigning away from Minas Anor. When a Northman revolt finally weakened the Wainrider Kingdom in T.A. 1899, Calimehtar crushed the Easterlings.
