![Lake Evendim]() Evendim is a Hobbitish name to refer to the dusk of the evening. It is used to refer to the Hills and Lake around Annúminas in western Arnor. Annúminas was the chief city of the Kings of Arnor for several centuries, and home to one of the three palantíri of the North-Kingdom and the Sceptre of Annúminas, the heirloom of and symbol of kingship in Arnor. In the early days of Arnor, it was one of the glories of Middle-earth, though soon after its founding, the numbers of the Dúnedain of the North began to dwindle. The population of Annúminas has fallen throughout its history, until it was almost deserted, and the Kings moved to Fornost to the east. After the city's desertion, it fell into decay, but two relics of its greatness survived: its palantír and the Sceptre. The palantír remained for more than a millennium after the loss of its city, but was ultimately drowned with Arvedui in the cold northern seas. The silver Sceptre of Annúminas has been removed to Fornost by the Kings, and eventually came to be kept by Elrond in Rivendell.
