The Kin-strife presents the people, politics, and armies of Gondor under the repressive rule of Castamir the Usurper. In that siege and burning the Tower of the Stone of Osgiliath was destroyed, and the palantír was lost in the waters.' - The Return of the King At last he was besieged in Osgiliath, and held it long, until hunger and the greater forces of the rebels drove him out, leaving the city in flames. When the confederates led by the descendants of the kings rose against him, he opposed them to the end of his strength. He was handsome and valiant, and showed no sign of ageing more swiftly than his father. To the lineage of Gondor he added the fearless spirit of the Northmen. But Eldacar did not prove easy to thrust from his heritage. Therefore when Eldacar succeeded his father there was war in Gondor. He grew to love the Northern lands and people, and he married Vidumavi, daughter of Vidugavia. 'But Valacar far exceeded his father's designs.
