Gondor. He is the son of Arathorn and Gilraen. He married Arwen, daughter of Elrond. He
guided the hobbits to Rivendell and helped ease the pain of Frodo's wound. He was a member of
the fellowship accompanying Frodo. After Gandalf's fall in Moria, he assumed command of the
company. He led them to Lórien and then down the Anduin. At the breaking of the fellowship he
decided to follow the orcs that captured Merry and Pippin. He fought in the battle against
Saruman and he used the palantir of the Orthanc to reveal himself to Sauron. He took the Paths
of the Dead to recall the broken oath. With the army of the dead he defeated the men of Umbar
and Harad. He then took the ships into the battle on the Fields of Pelennor. He used the
"healing hands of the king" to heal Eowyn, Faramir, and Merry. He rode to the gates of Mordor,
leading an army and defeated Sauron's army. He found a sapling of the White Tree and he
replanted it in Minas Tirith. He also decreed that no man could enter Hobbiton. He was able to
choose the time of his death like the Kings of Númenor.

the will of Ilúvatar, he created dwarves (what he thought the elves would be like). His maia
