  Encyclopedia of Arda: Amlaith of Fornost
Amlaith's realm was reduced to the lands west of the River Baranduin and the Weather Hills, a region that came to be known as Arthedain.
Whatever the cause of the dissension between Amlaith and his brothers, the fact of his direct descent from Isildur was never in question.
Amlaith's younger brothers (whose names were frustratingly never recorded) were the founders of the kingdoms of Cardolan and Rhudaur.

 Characters from the Campaign
A scimitar closely resembling this one was seen by Amlaith and Galdor in the hands of Vlack, an hobgoblin chieftain in north-eastern Karameikos.
Amlaith, bard of Rifllian, is an half-elf, son of an elf and a traladaran woman.
Currently, Amlaith is writing his second tome of Hutaakan lore and history, a collage of translations from ancient Hutaakan scrolls he took back from his journeys and of the tales and clues he gathered in the last year.

 Waiting for a king like you   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
That is to say that Amlaith may have avoided a full-blown civil war with his brothers by merely assuming the title of King, deferring a full assumption of the title of High King until such time as it could be done safely.
Although Amlaith's people most likely never fully abandoned their knowledge of Quenya, the abandonment of High Elven names for the kings implies that the ancient language of the loremasters was no longer important.
Amlaith, for his part, could have remained beside his father in Annuminas and watched helplessly as his brothers won renown and general support in the lands they were defending.

 The Division of Arnor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Amlaith is described in the list of the royal line of Arnor as ‘the eldest son of Earendur’ (LOTR App.A (ii)).
The possibility that Amlaith was not Earendur’s son, i.e the result of an affair by his mother, is unlikely because the unbroken descent of the chieftains of the Northern Dunedain from Elendil is an important thread of Tolkien’s story.
The fact that the first King of Arthedain's name in the Line of Kings is given as 'Amlaith of Fornost' adds colour to this invention: he is remembered by later generations as the king who moved the royal seat to Fornost.

 TolkienWiki: Arthedain
When Arnor was divided between the 3 sons of Eärendur in III 861, Amlaith, rightful heir of Earendur, received Arthedain which was the core of the old kingdom with the most important fortresses (like Fornost, the new capital) and the largest part of the Númenorean population.
The Kings of Arthedain were descedants of Amlaith through its history, and only in Arthedain the Line of Isildur was maintained.
Amlaith was the rightful heir to Eärendur, and the rulers of Arthedain were direct descendants of the Kings of Arnor.

 Arthedain
Arthedain was a Dúnedain kingdom founded by Amlaith, eldest son of Eärendur[?] of Arnor in 861 T.A. Its capital was Fornost[?].
Amlaith, the true heir to the throne of Arnor faced opposition from his two brothers.
Unable to keep Arnor united he founded in his share of Arnor the kingdom of Arthedain (the other kingdoms were Cardolan and Rhudaur).

 [ Daily Tolkien ] Razing Arnor: How real were the Dunadan conspiracies?
Amlaith became the first king of Arthedain, the Dunadan realm between the Weather Hills and the Lhun, north of the Baranduin and the great east-west road.
Their support would have helped to ensure that Amlaith's younger brothers were accepted among the peoples of Cardolan and Rhudaur, and could have been the chief reason for why Amlaith would agree to a division of his rightful realm in the first place.
Amlaith's failure or refusal to claim the High Kingship upon his father's death was probably a reflection of the political realities of his day.

 Arthedain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien, Arthedain was one of the three kingdoms of Middle-earth that resulted from the breakup of Arnor during the Third Age.
During the reign of Eärendur his sons were in open discord, which erupted into civil war after Eärendur's death in T.A. Amlaith, the true heir to the throne of Arnor, was opposed by his two brothers.
Unable to resolve the situation, he was reduced to ruling the region of Arthedain, which consisted approximately of the lands west of Baranduin and north of the Great East Road.

Amlaith, being the eldest son, got the main core of lands and the most important fortresses.
Amlaith thus became the first king of Arthedain and his surname implies that it was him who moved the capital to Fornost.
To notify this lower status, he didn't have a Quenya name, but kept his Sindarin form, something that was followed by his successors till Aragorn II.

I remember the first King of Arthedain, Amlaith, the eldest son of Eärendur and direct descendant of Isildur.
It was the 10th king of Arnor, Eärendur, who was her last ruler, for after his death his 3 sons each laid claims of succession and from that day forth Arnor was separated into Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur.
It was then that Amlaith became King of Arthedain, although as Eärendur's eldest son, many consider his line the true heir of Isildur.

The mere threat of a war might have been sufficient to convince Amlaith of Fornost to let his brothers secede with part of the realm.
But lately I've become convinced there must have been a war, perhaps even a rather bitter one, though not as devastating as Gondor's kin-strife.
Amlaith was the eldest son of Earendur, so his brothers may have outlived him (unless in their state of rebellion their lives were shortened -- that's a sticky issue).

In Appendix A it says that: "the Tower of Amon Sul held the chief Palantir of the North, and the other two were both in the keeping of Arthedain." Arnor was divided in 861 T.A. on the death of Earendur (and the succession of 'Amlaith of Fornost' his eldest son).
Fornost was over-run in 1974 T.A. and Arvedui fled with the stones of Annuminas and Amon Sul.
