Aragost

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

Aragost (TA 2431 - TA 2588)^[1] was the eighth of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain.

Like his forefathers, he was raised by Elrond in Rivendell while his father Arahad I dwelt in the wild.

He became the Chieftain of the Dúnedain in TA 2523 at the death of his father. His rule was an uneventful one, as the attention of the enemy was focused on Gondor, where the Éothéod had settled the new realm of Rohan.

He died in TA 2588^[1], after serving as chieftain for sixty-five years and was followed by his son Aravorn.
