Tarondor was the nephew of Telemnar, and was the twenty-seventh King of Gondor. He succeeded to the throne after his uncle and all his children died during the Great Plague. When the White Tree of Minas Anor died in TA 1636, Tarondor replanted a seedling. He also moved the capital of the South-kingdom to Minas Anor, because Osgiliath was partly deserted after the plague and those who escaped were unwilling to return.

Tarondor ruled for 162 years (TA 1636 - 1798) and was succeeded by his son Telumehtar Umbardacil.
