Part 2/8:

Aragorn's narrative begins with his father, Arathorn, whose impulsive bravery in combat almost wiped out their royal lineage. Arathorn was known for his fierce temperament, entering battles with orcs that often ended unfavorably, leading to dire consequences for his family. He married Gúrin against the wishes of her father, who feared she would become a widow prematurely. Tragically, those fears were realized when Arathorn was killed by an orc arrow just four years into the marriage, shortly after the birth of their son, Aragorn.
