aragorn

  1. When and why did Aragorn go to Rhun?

    Was this ever written about beyond one brief mention at the Council of Elrond? Did he travel there when he was hunting Gollum?
  2. Why Aragorn, Boromir & Faramir didn't have beards

    Hello there! I recently read a chapter from the Nature of Middle-Earth (released in February 2021) about beards. Tolkien answers a fan if he imagined certain characters as beardless or not and dives into the lore behind it. I've covered the topic in this video on my channel, if it interests you...
  3. Norman Reedus as Aragorn in a new LOTR movie: Yay or Nay?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Reedus
  4. Do we have records of the battles Aragorn fought as Thorongil?

    What battles did Aragorn take part in when he served Thengel and Ecthelion under the pseudonym Thorongil? Are there any names for the wars Aragorn participated in in his early life, apart from his attack on the Umbar fleet?
  5. Moria: 📔Book vs. Film (analysis and comparison)

    In the book, the Moria chapters are probably my favorite in the entire book. Among other reasons, it's nice to see the whole Fellowship together in action and, as a consequence, it's sad to have to see them break up. This is also one sequence that didn't really need to be changed much at all...
  6. Aragorn in movies vs fingolfin?

    as you all know, aragorn in lotr movies is much stronger than aragorn in the book. he defeats the witch king and 5 other nazgul. he kills tens of uruk-hai alone etc. etc. what if aragorn and fingolfin in the movie universe had a 1 to 1 sword duel under normal and equal conditions, which would...

    Strider's Riddle. Is this passable in Sindarin + Tengwar

    I know there are newer versions and multiple translations, but this is the only version I can find with videos of people actually pronouncing it. I want to learn to pronounce it as well as get a tattoo of this poem. Please let me know what you think, as well as if you know of better versions...
  8. Aragorn's choice

    After the Fellowship has broken and the death of Boromir, Aragorn, as leader, has to choose between following Frodo and Sam, or Merry and Pippin. 'Let me think!' said Aragorn. 'And now may I make a right choice and change the evil fate of this unhappy day!' He stood silent for a moment. 'I will...
  9. I Am Spartacus! No wait... Aragorn!

    From Book I, Chapter 10 "Strider": In any case, I did not intend to tell you all about myself at once. I had to study you first, and make sure of you. The Enemy has set traps for me before now. Then somewhat later, Book V, Chapter 2 "The Passing of the Grey Company": And he beheld me. Yes...
  10. Aragorn’s Sense of Humor

    We have a thread on Tolkien’s (quirky) sense of humor. But he enlivens the story with Aragorn’s (rather dark!) sense of humor. In “Strider” (FotR), Aragorn loses his temper with Butterbur when the latter tells Frodo he wouldn’t “take up with a Ranger,” retorting, Then who would you take up...
  11. Could Peter Jackson Have Included 👑King Elessar's Passing?

    "In this year on March 1st came at last the Passing of King Elessar. It is said that the beds of Meriadoc and Peregrin were set beside the bed of the great king. Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down anduin and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf...

  13. Genealogy of Aragorn

    Hi. I am currently trying to trace Aragorn’s family tree, and am going well. If anyone knows anything about his family, the houses of Bëor, Marach, Huor, Gil-Galad or Galadriel (or anyone else) please tell me! I hope to put up a finished copy on TTF one time. Here it is: Ps. Arwen and Aragorn...

    Why would 👁️Sauron care if Aragorn had the Ring?

    He's just a mortal man. Would it even be possible for him to get enough power from it to topple Suaron? That part I never got as to why it seemed possible that Gondor could do anything with the Ring more than raise a big stink and have Suaron personally come over there and take it.
  16. Aragorn’s fate

    I find Aragorn’s fate both sad, and intriguing. As the returning king, he might be expected to be more of an obvious hero? Throughout LoTR, he does some great stuff, but nothing really greatly heroic. He has no great battles showing great prowess, for example. Such as Beowulf despatched...
  17. Aragorn (mostly) much better in the films

    Much criticism's been launched at the changes made to the books, much of it justified. But one thing I feel they were absolutely right to change was Aragorn. Yes, in the book he's absolutely kingly from the beginning....but can't you see how's that's terrible, dramatically? I don't like what...
  18. How will the Amazon show center around Young Aragorn?

    https://geektyrant.com/news/amazons-lord-of-the-rings-series-will-reportedly-focus-on-young-aragon Oh goodie, so PJ can muck this up too. :eek::eek::eek:o_Oo_Oo_O:mad::mad::mad::confused::confused::confused: CL
  19. How did Thranduil know Aragorns father Arathorn?

    In the Thranduil scene with Legolas he says: "His father Arathorn was a good man, his son might grow to be a great one." I am pretty sure they never crossed path. With the dunedain being where they are and Thranduil locking himself in his own kingdom. So was this just fanfiction that they...

    Aragorn vs Helm Hammerhand

    Just thought of this question when reading about how Helm would attack Dunlendings in the shadow of night, which made me curious. This would be a one on one fight with the two using their weapon of choice (Andúril and Helms hammer).
