So it's more than 1,000 years after the office is established.

Right.

So if we're talking about sort of the rise to prominence of the office of steward and the hereditary nature of the office, then we're definitely talking somewhere in that 1630 to 1988 range.

Yeah.

Dad, where's the phone number for Palantir Care?

I don't know.

I think we might have forgotten to renew it about 378 years ago.

so but anyway the whole point is that the house of the stewards is where this all was and that's why denethor coming back full circle had the legal authority to use the stones he was of course a direct descendant of palendor now before we move on to the last paragraph in this section which we skipped in the reading there's a footnote here that goes into great detail about how this was actually different in arnor everything we're talking about is specific to gondor here that's right

In other words, even though Denethor has the legal right to use the Anor Stone as a steward, Aragorn or any other heir of Elendil as defined above could actually claim the right to use it and take it back from the steward.

That's fascinating.

It is.

And it's interesting that we get this very tight definition of heir of Elendil.

It has to be not just somebody who's in direct line, but somebody who actually occupies a throne or lordship.

So if you've got a king of Rohan or something like that who... Can trace his lineage, yeah.

Yeah, which we know did happen.

There was some Gondorian blood in some of the monarchs of Rohan.

But they would not be able to use this, even if they can trace their lineage back to Elendil, because they're not a lord of the Numenorean realms.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

You have to be the senior heir in that lineage.
