* Alcarin
'The Glorious'; the title of Atanatar II, who ruled Gondor during the early second millennium of the Third Age, in a time when its wealth and power were legendary. This title means 'Glorious', but in fact Atanatar did little to build on the advances of his forebears, and history came to see his reign as the beginning of Gondor's decline.


* Alcarinquы|Alcarinque
'The Glorious', name of a star.


* Alcarondas
The great ship of Ar-PharazЇn in which he sailed to Aman.
-----
Called the Castle of the Sea, Alcarondas was the golden-and-black flagship of Ar-PharazЇn, the last King of N·menor. In it, he sailed to the shores of Aman to challenge the Valar, leading to the Downfall of his kingdom.


* Aldamir
The successor to Eldacar of Gondor.
In the time of the Kin-strife, the civil war of Gondor, King Eldacar was deposed by Castamir and his eldest son Ornendil was slain. Eldacar later recovered his rightful Kingship, but because of Ornendil's early death he was succeeded by his younger son Aldamir. Aldamir's reign was marked by war with the southern lands, including the Haven of Umbar that had been seized by Castamir's supporters. Aldamir was slain in that war and succeeded by his son Vinyarion, who avenged his father's death by conquering the Haradrim, after which he ruled as Hyarmendacil II.


* Aldarion and Erendis
One of the few N·menєrean tales to survive the Downfall; the history of Tar-Aldarion, the sixth King of N·menor, and his estranged wife Erendis.


* Aldaron
'Lord of Trees', a Quenya name occasionally used of the Vala more commonly called Oromы. See Tauron.


* Aldburg
The dwelling of ╔omer in the Folde (Rohan), where Eorl the Young had his house.
-----
Historic home of Eorl the Young.
One of the oldest settlements in Rohan, Aldburg stood in the region known as the Folde, some miles to the southeast of Edoras. It is recorded as the home of Eorl himself, and though the royal house moved to Edoras early in Rohan's history, Aldburg remained a seat of noblemen. At the time of the War of the Ring, it was the home of ╔omer, who was to inherit the Kingship of Rohan himself.


* Aldыa|Aldea
The day of the White Tree.
The fourth day of the N·menєrean week.


* Aldor
Third King of Rohan, son of Brego son of Eorl the Young.
-----
Rohan's longest-reigning King.
The second son of King Brego of Rohan. His elder brother Baldor had been lost while attempting to pass the Paths of the Dead, and so Aldor succeeded his father to become the third King of Rohan. He was just twenty-six years old when he came to the throne, and his reign of seventy-five years was the longest in the annals of the Mark. On account of his great age - he reached his one hundred and second year before he died - he is often referred to as Aldor the Old.
Aldor was the founder of a golden age in Rohan's history. In his time, the Rohirrim increased greatly in numbers, and he succeeded in driving all the Dunlendings from his realm. Aldor had many children, of which the three eldest were daughters. It was his fourth child, Frщa, who succeeded him as King, but due to Aldor's long life, Frщa had to wait until he was himself seventy-five years old before he became Lord of the Mark.


* Aldudщniы|Aldudenie
'Lament for the Two Trees', made by a Vanyarin Elf named Elemmэrы.
