Part 3/8:

After Arathorn's death, Gúrin took Aragorn to Rivendell, where he would be raised by Elrond, one of the wisest beings in Middle-earth. This foster upbringing was a tradition for the heirs of Isildur, providing Aragorn with the guidance and knowledge necessary to take up his future mantle.

A Secret Identity and Early Training

During his childhood, Aragorn lived under the alias "Estel," which means "Hope" in Elvish, to shield him from dark forces that sought his life. He was trained alongside Elrond’s sons, the twins Elladan and Elrohir, gaining insights into combat and strategy. At the age of twenty, Aragorn proved his worth by assisting the twins in a battle, which marked the beginning of his transition into a noble figure in his own right.
