His reign as the High King lasts for years , which ends with his death at the age of Faramir David Wenham , for instance, carries the blood of the Dunedain, which is why he's able to live to the age of The Dunedain aren't nearly as long-lived as Elves, of course, but they do get experience much more than most Men. Since Aragorn was 87 years old in the movies, the character was old enough to live through quite a bit while with the Rangers of the North.
Aragorn participated in several large-scale battles, and traveled through various regions of Middle-earth. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be Blade that was Broken, The crownless again shall be king. At least part of this article or section is of insufficient length or lacks important details.
Please expand it if you can. Aragorn and Gandalf had been planning their journey to Mordor for weeks. He and Gandalf guided the Fellowship south along the line of the Misty Mountains.
When they came to Hollin , Aragorn grew suspicious due to the lack of any sound he heard and spotted the Crebain who were spying out the land for Saruman.
He then convinced Gandalf to try the pass over Caradhras. However, while they were still far down the mountain, they were caught in a freak storm brought on by Sauron, and were forced to retreat.
Aragorn, together with Boromir, made a path through the snow for the Fellowship to escape. After it was proposed to go through Moria , Aragorn reluctantly agreed to go and helped fight off the Wargs that attacked them during the night. Helping to rescue Frodo from the Watcher in the Water , once the company entered Moria, Aragorn remained at the back and noticed Gollum beginning to follow them.
After they were attacked in the Chamber of Mazarbul , Aragorn fought off the attackers and killed the Orc-Chieftain, or Cave-troll in the movies that had seemingly killed Frodo. At their parting, Lady Galadriel gave him the Elfstone.
Aragorn attempted to catch Gollum several times. Though his original plan was to set out for Gondor and aid its people in the war, he felt responsible for Frodo after the loss of Gandalf and was conflicted about what path to take. Fear not! After passing the Argonath , the Fellowship camped at Parth Galen. Frodo saw that Boromir had been driven mad by the influence of the One Ring , trying to take it. Frodo put the Ring on, rendering him invisible, and ran away from Boromir.
Frodo climbed to the high seat on Amon Hen; from there he could see Sauron's eye looking for him. At this same time, the others were attacked by Saruman's Uruk-hai and a battle ensued. During the ensuing battle, Boromir was killed defending Merry and Pippin, expressing his remorse privately to Aragorn for trying to take the Ring.
After discovering that Frodo had left, Aragorn and the others decided that they would leave Frodo and Sam to rescue Merry and Pippin. Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn put Boromir's body and war gear in one of the elven boats as a funeral boat and tribute to Boromir for his bravery and courage. His body would be sent over the Falls of Rauros. The Three Hunters, by Ted Nasmith.
Aragorn ran from Parth Galen across the width of Rohan in just four days. Dejected, he led Legolas and Gimli to the site of the battle. Where now are the Dunedain, Elessar, Elessar? Where do thy kinsfolk wander afar? Near is the hour when the lost should come forth, And the Grey Company ride from the North.
But dark is the path appointed to thee: The Dead watch the road that leads to the Sea. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli then helped the people of Rohan in the Battle of the Hornburg , in which they conclusively defeated Saruman's army. Saruman also attempted to sway Gandalf, but failed in this also, and even so Gandalf offered his counterpart the opportunity for forgiveness.
Saruman refused to repent out of pride and to avoid seeming a rebel to Sauron, and thus Gandalf broke Saruman's staff and banished him from the Order of Wizards and the White Council. He missed, however, unable to decide if he hated Saruman or Gandalf more, and thus ended the Battle of the Hornburg and the Battle of Isengard.
Not long after the Grey Company of Rangers arrived from the north, dispatched by Galadriel. With them rode Elladan and Elrohir and Halbarad , bearing a standard made for him by Arwen.
However, this led Sauron to swiftly send out the forces he had long prepared to attack Minas Tirith. In order to defend the city, Aragorn travelled the Paths of the Dead , and summoned the Dead Men of Dunharrow who owed allegiance to the Heir of Isildur.
It had been prophesied by Isildur and Malbeth the Seer that the Dead would be summoned once more to pay their debt for betraying Gondor an age before.
With their aid the Corsairs of Umbar were defeated at the Battle of Pelargir. Aragorn, a small force of Rangers, and a large contingent of men and soldiers from the southern regions then sailed up the Anduin to Minas Tirith. When they arrived at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields , Aragorn unfurled a standard that Arwen had made for him which showed both the White Tree of Gondor along with the jeweled crown and seven stars of the House of Elendil.
With the help of the southern forces the armies of Gondor and Rohan rallied together and defeated Sauron's army. The Steward Denethor II declared that he would not bow to a descendant of Isildur years before, he had seen "Thorongil" as a rival to his father's favor and soon discovered his true identity and burned himself to death during the battle, despairing of final victory.
This won him the immediate recognition of Faramir as rightful heir to the throne; his humility and self-sacrifice gained him the hearts of the inhabitants of Gondor's capital city. Aragorn's healing abilities, moreover, were a sign to the people of Gondor of the identity of their true king; as Ioreth said, "The hands of the King are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known.
Despite his immediate success and popularity, however, and despite his claim to the throne through raising the royal banner, Aragorn decided to lay aside his claim for the time being.
He knew that if he aggressively promoted his claim, rival claimants or debates as to his legitimacy were not out of the question, and this could be a fatal distraction for Gondor at a time when the West needed to be united against Sauron.
So, to avoid conflict, after he had healed people during the following nights of March 15 — 16 , he left Minas Tirith and symbolically refused to enter it again until he was crowned King on May 1. They marched over the Anduin river and came to Minas Morgul , and set fire to the fields there. Leaving a guard at the Cross-roads , they began to march north through Ithilien , and Aragorn won a skirmish against some Orcs and Easterlings that tried to ambush them.
They then reached the desert before Mordor, and Aragorn allowed those who were afraid to depart to retake Cair Andros. Men of Gondor, hear now the Steward of this Realm! One has come to claim the kingship again at last. Shall he be king and enter into the City and dwell there? Upon Sauron's defeat, Aragorn was crowned as King Elessar , a name given to him by Galadriel and adopted by the people of Gondor because of the Elfstone he wore.
Only Eru Iluvatar has the power to alter the natural lifespan of one of the Children. By altering the lifespan of Aragorn a stability was given to the new age following the major upheaval of the War of the Ring. A minor ripple in the long symphony of the Great Music, but by doing so Eru added new hope into the new age.
Aragorn indeed lived to be two hundred and ten years old, longer than any of his line since King Celebrindor; but in Aragorn Elessar the dignity of the kings of old was renewed. A tale of how the change in one word has implications to how we view Middle-earth.

Saruman at first tries to bend Theoden to his will and at first Theoden is almost swayed but then he masters his will and refuses to join with Saruman. Saruman then sneers at Theoden and turns his attention to Gandalf and tries to sway him, only to be laughed at. Then Gandalf offers him a chance of repentance without limits. Saruman turns white in his face at this, sadly in the end however Saruman refuses to repent out of pride and to leave Orthanc. Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff as he is no longer the head and is banished from the Order of Wizards and The White Council.
But misses not being able to decide who he hated more Gandalf or Saruman. Thus ending the Battle of the Hornburg and the Battle of Isengard.
