Few records of the House of Andúnië survived the destruction of Númenor, but according to tradition the genealogies of Silmariën’s line after Valandil are as follows: The second Lord of Andúnië was Ulmondil, son of Valandil, an elf-friend who loved to sail with visiting Teleri from Tol Eressëa. His wife was Hyamindë, a priestess of Eru. They had several children, but only the name of Ulmondil’s heir was recorded. This was Elvëanna, the third leader of Andúnië. Elvëanna was neither a woman nor a man and devised many poetic ways of describing this state of in-betweenness. Their love of language was matched by their wife, Tintilárë, a linguist. Lilómëo was the son of Elvëanna and the fourth Lord of Andúnië. He was known for his beautiful voice, and before he inherited his parent’s title he lived in Armenelos and sang for the king, Tar-Anárion. He wed Malwacilin, a common-born glassmaker, for love rather than politics. The son of Lilómëo was Irmondil, a poet who thought little of the affairs of his city. His wife, Lelyárë, took up the task of leadership, though she also was not suited to it and was glad when Irmondil passed his title onto their daughter Moruinë when she was yet young. Moruinë was the first ruling Lady of Andúnië since Silmariën. She was headstrong and fiercely devoted to her elvish friends, pressuring the king Tar-Minastir to aid the elves of Middle-earth in the war against Sauron. It was Moruinë who granted Tar-Minastir the hill of Oromet upon which to build his tower. Her wife was Ortólorë, a woman of the mainland who came to Númenor after her coastal village was destroyed. Though they were both women, Moruinë conceived an heir with her wife. They cherished their son, encouraging his athletic pursuits and raising him to love the elves as they did.
