What was Aragorn doing before the fellowship?

12 Before: He worked as a Ranger of the North The way that The Fellowship of the Ring introduces Aragorn implies anything but a grand royal lineage. Instead, he seems like a common ruffian– even a little threatening. Ordinary people in Middle Earth considered the Rangers of the North a little grim and untrustworthy.

Why did Aragorn live with the elves?

Aragorn: Fostered by the Elves It was actually traditional for the Chieftains of the Dunedain to be fostered (at least for a time) by Elrond and the elves of Rivendell. Unlike the other chieftains, which were fostered with kindness and support, Aragorn was raised as if he were one of Elrond’s own sons.

How did Aragorn meet the elves?

They first met in the gardens of Rivendell. Aragorn was 20 and had just been told by Elrond that he was the Heir of Isildur. Arwen was 2000+ years old, and had been living in Lothlorien with Galadriel, her grandmother. Aragorn liked her and thought she was a dream of Luthien Tuniviel, and called her that.

Did Legolas and Aragorn know each other before fellowship?

We never see the two meet before the Council of Elrond. However, between Aragorn bringing Gollum to Mirkwood and Aragorn’s various deeds, it is likely Legolas became familiar with Aragorn to one extent or another. It’s possible they met during Aragorn’s wanderings, or when he arrived in Mirkwood.

Did Aragorn grow up in Gondor?

Early years. Aragorn was a descendant of Elros Tar-Minyatur through the line of the Lords of Andúnië to Elendil, High King of Arnor and Gondor. His ancestor Arvedui was wedded to Fíriel, who was descended from Anárion, who bore their son Aranarth, making Aragorn the last descendant of both Isildur and Anárion.

How is Arwen half elf?

Arwen is Half-Elven because her paternal great-grandparents were Idril (an Elf) and Tuor (a man), and great-great-grandparents were Beren (a man) and Lúthien (an Elf of divine descent). Both her father’s parents were Half-elves because they were descended from those mortals.

What did Aragorn do in The Lord of the Rings?

The Lord of the Rings. Aragorn accompanied the group through their attempted crossing of the pass of Caradhras, and subsequently through the mines of Moria. After Gandalf was lost in a battle with a Balrog, Aragorn led the company to Lothlórien and then down the river Anduin to the Falls of Rauros.

Why did Aragorn’s mother take him to Rivendell?

His father was killed when he was a young boy, so his mother had to take him somewhere he would be safe from harm before she kicked the bucket as well. After thinking of all the places in Middle-Earth, Aragorn’s mother took him to Rivendell, where he could be raised and cared for by the wise Elves west of Caradhras.

How old was Aragorn when he decided to leave the Elves?

However, Aragorn’s mother had a fairly smart idea when it comes to this. Aragorn went a large majority of his life going by the name “Estel” and even he didn’t know about his true lineage until he was 20 years old. After he was informed of his true identity, he decided to leave the Elves and go fight alongside his Dunedain kin.

Where did Aragorn join Frodo Baggins and his friends?

Aragorn joined Frodo Baggins, Bilbo’s adopted heir, and three of Frodo’s friends at the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree; a letter from Gandalf convinced Frodo to trust Aragorn. The four hobbits had set out from the Shire to bring the One Ring to Rivendell.
