Is Eriador in Arnor?
Arnor included most of Eriador, extending from the gulf of Lune (west of which was Lindon) to the river Greyflood and its tributary, the river Loudwater (east of which was Rivendell). The Dunedain of Arnor dwelt in many places in Eriador, but most of the population centered around the region of Arthedain.
Does Aragorn have elf blood?
Though he chose men, having essentially been raised as an elf, it’s assumed that he retained many elvish characteristics (as Arwen does later on.)) And Aragorn was one of these descendants of Elros, so he does technically have some elvish blood.
How did Aragorn survive the fall?
Aragorn’s “death scene” was meant to drive home the point that he cannot die because he has the light of the Valar in him, as represented by the jewel given to him by Arwen. Basically, because Arwen has forsaken her immortality for him, Aragorn can’t die until the time is right.
Are the Dúnedain human?
In J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, the Dúnedain (/ˈduːnɛdaɪn/; singular: Dúnadan, “Man of the West”) were a race of Men descended from the Númenóreans who survived the sinking of their island kingdom and came to Eriador in Middle-earth, led by Elendil and his sons, Isildur and Anárion.
Is Strider half-elf?
Aragorn isn’t a half-elf, he’s a tiny fraction of an elf. Elros, who was a half-elf (actually 9/16), was his very remote ancestor. But more importantly, the heirs of Elros were not given the choice to be elven or human, although the Valar did grant them unusually long life-spans.
What happened Trollshaws?
The Trollshaws were the upland woods, consisting partly of beech trees, lying west of Rivendell between the rivers Hoarwell and Loudwater in eastern Eriador. Trolls roamed these lands, and terrorized trespassers.
