Elrond also fostered the young Aragorn, who dwelt with them in secret until adulthood.

Aragorn also heals Merry and Éowyn, who were hurt by the Witch-king before he fell.

Aragorn understood from him also that Gandalf was missing, that Frodo had left the Shire without Gandalf, that Black Riders were trailing Frodo, and that Frodo had not been seen leaving Buckland.

Tolkien's description of the physical layout of the city of Minas Tirith itself is followed relatively faithfully in Peter Jackson's film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, ( the city also has a cameo in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf goes there to discern the identity of Bilbo's ring, and it also can be seen in the distance for a few seconds when Faramir takes Frodo, Sam, and Gollum to Osgiliath in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ) Jackson's version interprets the top of the rock as flattened and paved, and also the location for the coronation of Aragorn.

They are also mentioned as part of the army Aragorn commanded at the Battle of Morannon.

The Army of the Dead also accompany Aragorn to Minas Tirith to destroy Sauron's entire army on the Pelennor Fields.

When Aragorn became King of Gondor at the end of the War of the Ring, he was also the descendant of the Kings of Arnor, and by right he was crowned High King of both Arnor and Gondor and Reunited the Two Kingdoms, which had politically split long ago.

Aragorn was also held to be the protector of Dale ( which included Esgaroth ), and the Dwarf realm of Erebor, although these allies maintained their own rule and kings.

* Elfstone-in J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy writings, the Elfstone is a famous green jewel that Galadriel gives as a gift to Aragorn ; it is also known as the " Elessar " or the " Stone of Eärendil ".

It was also felt that making a personal duel between Aragorn and Sauron changed the thematic point of the battle, that it was a selfless sacrifice by Aragorn and the Army of the West.

We see this, for example, in the earlier Kings of Númenor, and Aragorn also accepted the Gift at the natural end of his life.

He is associated with the " post-left anarchist " tendency also advocated by the late Fredy Perlman and John Moore, and by Jason McQuinn, Lawrence Jarach, John Zerzan, Aragorn!

Aragorn reveals himself, using the Palantír of Orthanc, to Sauron ( top ), and Sauron retaliates with a vision of the dead ( mortal ) Arwen to Aragorn ( bottom ).

At this time, Aragorn, through the use of a palantír recovered after the fall of Isengard, reveals himself to the Dark Lord, and marches to the gates of Barad-dûr calling for battle, thus keeping the eye of Sauron focused on the ongoing war rather than the mission of Frodo.

He urged Aragorn to save Minas Tirith, as he himself had failed.

Using the stone, Aragorn declared himself as the heir of Isildur to Sauron, seeking to distract him from Frodo.

Denethor attempts to immolate himself and Faramir on his funeral pyre, but Gandalf and Pippin succeed in saving Faramir, who is subsequently healed by Aragorn.

At the death of Denethor II, Aragorn Elessar declared himself openly as the Heir of Isildur, and Denethor is considered the last of the Ruling Stewards.

During his first appearance on the show, Bobo introduces himself as " Professor Bobo, son of Koko and heir to the lineage of Godo, Mogo and Chim-Chim " a reference to Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, of which Kevin Murphy is a longtime fan.

After an early period of growth, Gondor gradually declined as the Third Age progressed, being continually weakened by the allies of the Dark Lord Sauron, and was only restored in dominance after his final defeat and the crowning of Aragorn.

After the second and final defeat of Sauron, the Kingship was restored, with Aragorn crowned as King Elessar of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor.

When Aragorn used the stone, again without attempt to spy, Sauron thought that it meant that Aragorn had the Ring, again distracting him from the true presence of the Ring on its way to Mount Doom.

Peregrin inadvertently contacted Sauron, after which Gandalf turned the stone over to Aragorn.

Sauron was led to believe that the One Ring had fallen into the hands of Aragorn or some other Western leader, and this was partly responsible for Sauron's hasty assault against Gondor.

Here, Aragorn is luring Sauron to the Battle of the Morannon, and Sauron responds by showing him a vision of a dying Arwen.

Aragorn, having confronted Sauron through the palantír of Isengard, sets out to find the lost army of the undead oathbreakers who dwell in the Paths of the Dead, a mountain hall, because they did not help Isildur during the War of the Last Alliance.

Knowing that it is only a matter of time before Sauron rebuilds his forces for another attack, Gandalf and Aragorn decide to draw out the hosts of Mordor with an assault on the Black Gate, providing a distraction so that Frodo and Sam may have a chance of reaching Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring, unseen by the Eye of Sauron.

Gandalf's plan to distract Sauron from the Ring is successful: Mordor is almost empty as all the remaining Orcs have been summoned to defend the land against the assault of the army led by Gandalf and Aragorn.

This was done because of the deleted " Aragorn vs Sauron " scene.

Originally there would be a " blinding light " and Aragorn would see Annatar ( Sauron's pleasant appearance that he had used to deceive the Elves in the Second Age ), who would then become Sauron and attack.

However, the filmmakers decided that this deviated too far from the books, so instead the blinding light scenes were used to depict a " staring contest " between Aragorn and the Eye of Sauron.

Again another deleted scene in the extended edition of The Return of the King appears to reinforce this view, showing Sauron standing atop his tower and briefly being observed by Aragorn.

He belonged to the race of the Black Númenóreans and briefly appeared in person when he haggled with the Army of the West in front of the Black Gate ( Morannon in Elvish ), trying to convince Aragorn and Gandalf to give up and let Sauron win the war for Middle-earth.

If it refers to Sauron's most recent return to Mordor, the Mouth of Sauron would have served Sauron for some 68 years when he encountered Aragorn and Gandalf.

The Hill of Erech was their trysting-place, and consequently the land around it remained unsettled, until after the Dead had been summoned to the Stone by Aragorn, fulfilled their oath and had been permitted by him to pass in peace.

The Forest was made by Aragorn after his crowning into an independent state under Gondor's protection .</ div >

** Strider ( pony ), a pony named after Aragorn

Arnor is the territory of Middle-earth associated with the High Kings of the line of Elendil, the kingship of which was restored at the crowning of Elessar ( Aragorn ) after the War of the Ring at the start of the Fourth Age.

Eärnil died in 2043 Third Age and was succeeded by his son Eärnur, who was as good a general as his father but lacked his wisdom, and who would be the last king before Aragorn reclaimed his throne after a long gap.

Following the battle, Aragorn dismisses the Dead, but only after a scene of silent hesitation, where Gimli suggests that they keep them for their usefulness.

In a 1972 letter concerning this draft, Tolkien mentioned that Eldarion's reign would have lasted for about 100 years after the death of Aragorn.

Aragorn II was his descendant and was named after him .</ div >

* 2980-Arwen pledges her hand in marriage to Aragorn ; Frodo Baggins loses both of his parents in a boating accident ; Aragorn, in the service of the Steward of Gondor Ecthelion II leads a taskforce south and kills the Captain of the Haven, ruler of Umbar ; Samwise Gamgee born ; Théoden, son of Thengel, becomes seventeenth king of Rohan after the death of his father.

* 120-Death of Aragorn, King of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor, after 210 years of life and 122 years of reign ; his son Eldarion ascends the throne.

Only after a scene of silent vacillation, where Gimli even suggests that they keep them, does Aragorn declare their curse lifted.

After the last King of Gondor died without an heir, the House of Húrin ruled Gondor for 969 years until the heir of Isildur from the House of Elendil, Aragorn, again reclaimed the Throne after the War of the Ring.

Long after his natural death, he fulfils his oath, and is released from his condition by Aragorn.

At the end of the story after Aragorn is crowned king, he promised Treebeard that the Ents could prosper again and spread to new lands with the threat of Mordor gone, and renew their search for the Entwives.
