aragorn

So, Elessar is supposed to mean elf-stone. How? The ELF word for Elf is Elda, only Men used El- or Elen- to mean Elf. And where does -ssar come from?!

People really take it as a given that Pippin, Gandalf, and Aragorn would be able to walk away from the Battle of the Black Gate. Sauron's forces greatly outnumbered them. Even though the war would have been won by the destruction of the Ring, it could easily have transpired that say, Aragorn...

( A short scene from sometime in the 4th age) Aragorn and Faramir having a conversation as they stand in hip-waders in the River Anduin... Aragorn: "Ah yes its nice to get away from the palace sometimes... all those screaming little girls..." Faramir: "Well, we have no offspring as yet. Eowyn...

Where do I find the bit about Aragorn/Thorongil's raid on Umbar?

So in the research I've been doing it says that Aragorn's rule as Chieftain of the Dúnedain started as soon as his father died (T.A. 2933). However, by that point Aragorn was only 2 years old, and wasn't told of his lineage until he was 21. So during the time that he was raised by Elrond, was...

I can understand why they cut it. Since Sauron is technically dead physically, but this looks legit intense 2:46

Aragorn said he'd been in Moria once but that the memory was very evil. However, what he said when Gandalf stubborn insisted on going as the only way that could them to finish the quest in time, was that he feared that Gandalf would be most in peril if he went through Moria. While we know...

Aragorn was the rightful heir to the throne, a descendant of Isildur, That was indisputably so, so much that not even Denethor (who, from the books, as I'll mention in my next thread, seems more a tragic character and a decent ruler than a villain, as the movies seem to show him to be) would be...

I know from the book, that Elves come after death into Mandos Halls, but what happened with humans like Aragorn after death, where will they come? When i read the book and watch the movie, i always thought about, "Is there a reuniting after death possible for Arwen and Aragorn. In the...

Could somebody devout give me their best approximation of time passed between Aragorn meeting Boromir in Rivendell, and Boromir's death? Just curious.

And who would you be on the journey?

"I am Gandalf, Gandalf the White, but Black is mightier still.'"? What did he mean by this? Is he implying that Sauron is stronger?

I've read the books before I watched the adaptions by Bakshi and Peter Jackson. These people here come close to my idea of how the characters would look like. Gandalf (the Nessie-researcher Adrian Shine)

I guess it makes them look cool. Heroic figures. But whats your view?

He declined the role. Here is one guy trying to imitate a Cage impression. Just wonder how the legacy of Lord of the Rings would have been if he played such a famous written character like Aragorn

The choice of Arwen to become mortal is one of the most tragic tales in LOR. It causes her enormous grief to part from Elrond and of course in the end from Aragorn. She becomes lifeless when Aragorn dies and goes from Gondor to Lorien which is deserted and lies down on a green hill and dies...

We know that after the events of The Hobbit, Balin and a company of dwarves took back Moria and most likely it was well known, at least for a time. I'm sure considering that Aragorn hunted all the way south for Gollum, that he must have been aware of it. However, when the Fellowship was...

Well, this is something that aways intrigued me since i first read the novel, what on earth made him cross the black pit?! I mean, Gandalf have crossed before and gave his reasons, but we're left in the dark about Aragorn journey. He was probaly the best ranger of his time but yet no wizard...

I don't usually care for "What If" questions. To me, the book is good enough for me, warts and all. In my view, any warts that might exist are excusable considering The Lord of the Rings was not a book that Tolkien ever set out to write of his own volition, but rather to fill a demand. But...

Hi, I was just wondering if the tengwar is correct in the attached picture, for the riddle of the strider. I was also wondering if I could just take the second verse, and it would still make linguistic sense. Thankyou.
