The moment he reclaims his sword and his rightful place as king. Hence royalty and the bloodline and has palace privileges. Means he gets upgraded in rank. From Ranger - Paladin
So in the Two Towers Faramir shows to Frodo and Sam the "Standing Silence", a custom of the Rangers of Ithilien (I assume all the Dúnedain of Gondor do this as well). They stand and look towards the west in silence before a meal.
As Faramir says in the book "[...] we look towards Númenor that...
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...
Yeah, such elite armed forces trained as hardly as tower guard and appointed to much more risky military tasks than the previous,yet with lower hardware? Was it due to prevention of any mithril classified stuff from being captured or anything else? Any idea?
Rangers of Ithilien were set up in the latter 3rd Age as a all-round rapid elite knight-class military forces, yet before their appearance, who're in charge of their duties and operation? There'd been too many reasons that Gondor needed such all-round elite military units, such as rapid tactical...
This is no breaking news for most but it was to me. it seems Tolkien's great-grandson Royd Tolkien, played one of Faramir's rangers in the movies.

It's obvious these bad ass are under the direct command of the Army-Level command, meaning that they're not normal recons usually under the command of tactical unit like divisions or even combat unit such as companies. So...let's get back to business, where're these guys during the siege of the...

The menhirs marched into the very mountains themselves, marking out the dread Dimholt Road that the Rohirrim so feared. And rightly so, for a darkness dwelt in the heart of...
Hello, I'm writing a fan fiction project and am currently doing some research. It is difficult however to find answers to certain questions, even with all the various online wikis. So I've come here hoping that others may have more information. At the very least, perhaps someone can point me in...
Please veiw the OOC Rangers thread before posting.

Haleth and Phillip cantered over the rolling hills of Rohan, on their way to meet with some of the other Rangers. They were meeting to discuss the problems they'd been having with the Paths of...
Hey guys, I have this idea for a RP, called 'Rangers'. Rangers takes place right after Aragorn is crowned King of Gondor, and it is the story of what happens to the rest of the Rangers of the North. Perhaps they became Lord of great lands, perhaps they continued to wander the North, perhaps the...
Hi. For those of you who don't know me (probably the majority), I'm LadyDernhelm. I was a member here for a few months last year before my browser started rejecting vBulletin sites. Now, I'm back.
...And I have a question that's been bugging me for some time. I've never liked Aragorn all that...
!!!CONCERING THE *Guild of Ranger's*, PLEASE READ THIS!!!
*Disclaimer*
This has nothing to do with the recent deleting of GoR (Guild of Religion) this is about the Guild of Ranger's, if I at antime mention the letter's 'GoR' please take it to mean Guild of Ranger's, sorry for any confusion...
I've noticed that essentially the same race appears to be referred to differently at various junctures and sometimes (I think) interchangeably. Can someone help clarify this:
1) Men of Westernese or Men of the West
2) Later took Numenor and were known as Numenoreans.
3) Later referred to as...
Ok I couldn't think of an appropriate place to post this so here it is, Anyway I was wondering which type of Ranger's do people like more? Arnorien or Gondorien.
Let's trace the events:
>> Arnor - destroyed
>> the population of ex-Numenoreans - scattered all around the North having lost homes and kingdom
>>Gondor - still holding positions there in the South and yet in desperate need of help in order to survive
Then WHY, I have been often...
