Tar-Anducal was the name that the husband of Tar-Vanimeldë took when he usurped the sceptre after her death. His right name was Herucalmo. He was a descendant of Tar-Atanamir and so was of the Line of Elros.

After taking the sceptre that should have passed to his son, he "ruled" for twenty years before his death in SA 2657. The sceptre then passed to his son, and rightful heir, Tar-Alcarin.
