We all know that Aragorn is Isildur’s heir, but there’s 38 generations and nearly 3000 years between them. What happened during that time?Elrond said that Aragorn was “descended through many fathers from Isildur Elendil’s son . . . He is the Chief of the Dúnedain in the North, and few are now left of that folk”Today we will explore the tales of Aragorn’s forefathers, and why the Dunedain have dwindled from the once mighty kingdom of Numenor to a handful of Rangers in the North. And keep a sharp ear out for the appearance of the Hobbits, and King of the Nazgul: the Witchking of Angmar!Exclusive discounts for you: https://www.ringspodcast.com/p/discounts/Find contact info, social media links, discounts and more on the Lore of the Rings website: https://www.ringspodcast.com/Support the show with a wafer of lembas: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lotrpodcastThis podcast is not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate.Our Sponsors:* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/lotrpodSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/ringspodcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
