Appendix A-I-iii: Eriador, Arnor and the Heirs of Isildur
The North-kingdom and the
Dúnedain
(The next eight
KINGS after Isildur and Anárion SQUABBLE about
who OWNS what and everyone wants Weathertop
because it has a CRYSTAL-BALL SHAPED
Palantir-thingy.)
Source: "The
Witch-king [aka The Lord of the Nazgûl] tries
world domination. Then there was war, plague,
more war, and Snowmen. Elrond held on to the
heirlooms of Gondor and the Dúnedain became
Rangers. Orcs multiplied indiscriminately and
indiscriminately attacked people. The Line of
Kings was restored by Aragorn, son of Arathorn
who became King of Gondor and Arnor, but decreed
that none of the Big People with should pass the
borders of the Shire. But he still shows up at
the border for a chat now and then. One of Sam's
daughters works for Arwen."
(The Men of Gondor die QUICKER than they used to
[bummer], but Aragorn keeps going like the
PROVERBIAL Duracell BATTERY and everyone is
IMPRESSED. Except for his SUBJECTS, who aren't,
since they're dropping like FLIES. In hot
weather.)
