“Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? / Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? / Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? / Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? / They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; / The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.”

Aragorn: Also known as Strider, a Ranger of the North. Isildur's heir, long hidden from the searching eye of Sauron. When his father died when he was three in an orc attack, he and his mother fled to the safety of Rivendell. Elrond, to keep the child safe, did not tell him his rightful name and lineage until he came of age. While in Rivendell, he fell in love with the daughter of Elrond, Arwen Undomiel: the Evenstar of her people. Elrond refused Aragorn's request to have her hand in marriage until he became king of Gondor and Arnor, which he did not want. He spent awhile in the wilderness. Gandalf had him watch the borders of the Shire to keep Frodo safe. The Hobbits finally met him at Bree, shocked by his mysteriousness and rugged appearance. He becomes a member of the Fellowship of the Ring.
