     Cemendur was the son of Axantur, a lord of Hyarastorni. Though he was the youngest of his fatherâs children, his brother Ardamir preferred life in the city and his sister LindissĂ« moved to Forostar with her spouse, allowing him to inherit his fatherâs lands.      In his childhood he befriended RerindĂ«, the daughter of one of his fatherâs farm-workers, they were wed as soon as they came of age. Cemendur and RerindĂ« had two children: ĂrildĂ«, a lace-maker who studied under her great-aunt YĂĄvienâs tutelage, and Hallatan, who became involved in politics whilst on a visit to his uncle Ardamir in Armenelos.      Hallatan represented Hyarastorni in the Council of the Scepter, where he was known as the âSheep-lordâ for his rural holdings. He befriended Prince Anardil, and after the prince inherited the scepter and became Tar-Aldarion, he entrusted the regency of NĂșmenor to Hallatan while he was on his voyages to Middle-earth.      ĂrildĂ« grew very close to her dear friend RaivatamĂ«, another lace-maker taught by YĂĄvien. It was through ĂrildĂ« that Hallatan met RaivatamĂ«, and he swiftly fell in love. Though RaivatamĂ« was originally reluctant to accept his suit, they were eventually wed, and had two children: NessaniĂ«, a student of the heavens with a special interest in weather, and Hallacar, who followed in his fatherâs footsteps as a politician.      In truth, RaivatamĂ« loved not her husband, but his sister; her marriage grew cold and distant after the birth of their children, and she abode more often with ĂrildĂ«, with whom she was truly happy. Hallacar was raised seeing his mother only infrequently, and this rift in his family of origin would foreshadow an unhappy marriage of his own.
