Aragorn from lord of rings

J. R. R. Tolkien is best known for his epic high-fantasy works, like 'The Lord of The Rings', a series of three parts.

One of the main characters from the book series is Aragorn. Aragorn, son of Arathorn and Gilraen, was the first King of Gondor.

The fandom of LOTR books and movies are well aware of each character in this series. Aragorn, although, has his own fanbase indeed.

He is considered to be the best, and there sure are many points for this claim. Aragorn was the one who saved all the hobbits in Bree from the Nazgul.

Another point in favor of Aragorn is that after Gandalf's fall, it was Aragorn who took charge and led the fellowship. One more reason that can prove that Aragorn is actually the best is that he bought the Hobbits to Rivendell.

Readers note that that Aragorn yells 'Elendil'. This is because he belongs to the Elendil line, from the first king of Gondor. Shouting Elendil is a battle cry when he fights as he is fighting for the Elendil line.

But this fierce king, who is always ready to fight, has an ability. As he is the Númenoreans's true-blooded descendant, he can will himself to die. This is how it happened. Aragorn went and laid down on the tomb on Silent Street, where the royals of Gondor are buried. He then fell silent and willed himself to death.

Dive into the world created by Tolkien. The world of Frodo and Sam, Mordor, Merry and Pippin, Legolas and Gimli, Isildur, son of Gondor, men, heir, and much more.
