The Line of Anarion was broken after Eärnur's disappearance and the Stewards of Gondor ruled in his name "until the king returns" for it was not known whether Eärnur had been killed duelling the Witch-king or not and Eärnur had also left without naming an heir. 

The Stewards of Gondor ended up ruling for many generations.
