- They are the last remnants of the once great kingdom of Arnor. They would dwell and operate in secret, protecting the inhabitants of Eriador while kindling the hope that one of their line would one day bring the kingdom back to its former glory.

What videos would you like to see here on the channel? (It’s been a while since I’ve asked!)
How about where the Dwarves and Elves got their food? Were there Dwarf/Elf farms and ranches?
@@NerdoftheRings the Fall of Gondollin
Hello what's the prices to watch u again on livestream
Kind of unrelated to the question I guess but I really like your livestreams. Whatever it may be that you’re doing or covering the connection between a live audience with whatever you’re doing has always been something enjoyable for me personally.
Me personally I want to know how on Eru’s green earth did Morgoth feed all his armies + Ancalagon the black during the first age 🙏
The 2012 video game LOTR War in The North does a great job covering the lore of the rangers of the North.
Keep up the great work Mellon
Such a underrated game
How is the game I might pick it up
@@jibril2473 it's pretty damned cool. Great combat, great story, the lore is on point. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
@@jibril2473unfortunately that game is no longer on steam. I don't know if there's any other platform you could still find it. It's a great game, playable online with a total of three players.
Now I have to go replay the game. Thanks!!
Finally a video about greatest wariors of any legendarium, so powerful, so strong, and yet mysterious and their deeds will never be known to others, and yet they still fight
Yes, yes, YES! Perfect description.
You like them Dunedain, huh?
I would pay any amount of money to watch a mini series or something about just the War in the North. The Rangers, Angmar, Cardolan, the Easterlings battling Dwarves in Erebor; it's all fantastic.
Play the 2011 video game
No I want to watch Galadriel act like a psycho and random halflings wander around and do nothing instead.
Then you must Be OK with non-canonical writings like RoP is receiving a lot of undeserved heat for - because someone will have to do a lot of fleshing in as Tolkien only gave bare outlines concerning those days and the conflicts.... Which BTW does not bother me, I adore RoP and enjoy it thoroughly (just posting this too stir up the pot, ha ha)
@@fueledbylove Ew. The problem isnt "fleshing out" things Tolkien didnt write. The problem is when people go directly against what he DID write.
@@TheSuperappelflap That's an astute observation, neither of those is ideal. But I do not see the "problem" because RoP is entertainment and a huge fanbase is delighted with watching it. I choose to be delighted and quite frankly if I was not enjoying RoP i would spend time disparaging the series like many feel the need to.
“…and the game of golf was invented….” 😂
hole in one!😂
Was expecting to hear it from @nerdoftherings
I was waiting for TNOTR to give The Bullroarer the shout-out he deserves. So disrespectful
I do believe you made that up
I was disappointed he didn't say it 😂
As someone who has played Lord of the Rings Online for years the Rangers of the North and the Grey Company have a special place in my heart. A scattered people still watching over their once great kingdom and keeping the peace as best as they could without asking for compensation.
I still miss Candaith
They had a little forth in North Downs. Great MMO
Hearts go out for Amdir
@@Trigarta Esteldin FTW
The relationship between Elrond, and particularly his sons, and the Dunedain of the North is an extremely interesting one. Elrond commonly is referred to as an Elf. And he indeed, forced to choose, took the Elvish side of his lineage. But he remains "mighty among both Elves and Men." And his sons may look like Elf lords. But they have not yet made their choice. And clearly are very close with the surviving Dunedain.
The Dunedin of the north were survivors of the down fall of Numenor. When Numenor fell some of the survivors landed to found Gondor and some Arnor. They were seperated by the cataclysm of Numenor's fall.
Thus, they were related to Elrond through his brother who took the choice of men after Morgoth's defeat.
Dunedains are are noble bloods because they are the descendants of the numenorians. Elros who chose to be a man founded the kingdom of numenor which is also the twin brother of Elrond. Lord Elrond also fostered every descendants of Isildur so that one day they could unite the kingdom of arnor & gondor. By the way Isildur is the son Elendil who led the survivors of numenor to middle earth and he founded arnor & gondor together with his sons.
Dude, I’m not gonna lie, you’re probably one of my favorite CZcamsrs at the minute. I’ve always loved Lord of the Rings, but I never really knew much about it other than what happens in the movies. When I found your channel I basically instantly became in love with it, so whenever I’m bored I just go onto CZcams and look for an interesting video to watch, and usually I end up watching one of your videos. The editing style is smooth and clean and the way you show characters on the map is awesome.
About a week ago I had to go to the hospital, and it was like 3:00 in the morning and I was bored, so while I was in the room I showed my dad (who absolutely LOVES the movies, I can’t even articulate how much he does) your entire 40 minute Morgoth video, since he hadn’t seen much about the time of Baleriand and all that. We were both solidly entertained for the entire runtime of the video, and it was an awesome way to brighten the mood. Awesome content dude, keep it up.
I hope you are healed of whatever hospitalized you that day.🙏
@@Enerdhil thanks dude, and yeah I’m doing great, thanks for asking
@@sansgaming607
God bless you.
Glad you're feeling better! I also got so into his channel, anytime I need an escape it's so nice. I love lord of the rings so much, it's my safe place watching the movies 😊🥰.
Pick up one of the books young man, reading is cool too lol
The very first time I read Lord of the Rings, my favorite chapter was the one where the Hobbits met Strider in Bree. There were paragraphs that I read over and over because I loved it so much. I love the rangers.
Usually, decapitations happen with a sharp blade such as a sword or axe. The fact the The Bullroarer took the orcs head off with a blunt club is wild.
I think a show or movie about the Dunedain could be amazing
“Few now remember them, yet still some go wandering. Sons of forgotten kings walking in loneliness. Guarding from evil things folk that are heedless.”
This just makes me wonder why these guys weren't in the movies. Having them show up to help Aragorn makes more sense than elves at Helms Deep, and kind of fosters the overall narrative thread of men taking over as the last of the elves leave Middle-earth.
It wouldn’t have fit the theme they were hammering over and over- men are weak-willed and can’t be trusted…
In The Return of the King book they are part of the forces that show up on the ships to fight at Minas Tirith.
@@ericwebb244 Don't recall for sure but, didn't they have a presence during Aragorn's coronation?
Because the people making the movies made an effort to slightly reduce the massive amount of characters in the story. Which is why they changed Glorfindel, the elf who rescues Frodo and brings him to Rivendel, to Arwen, for example, and combined or removed a bunch of other characters like the hobbit Fatty Bolger (or was it Bulger?) and of course Tom Bombadil.
If they hadnt done that the movies would have had even more named characters and it was already a massive cast even with these changes.
@@TheSuperappelflap Sloth Fratelli Orc and green ghost king spit on your argument.
The ́oden was indeed glad of the news. ‘It is well!’ he said. ‘If these kinsmen be in any way like to yourself, my lord Aragorn, thirty such knights will be a strength that cannot be counted by heads.’
The Dunedain were the spark that light the torch for me to delve deeper in to the Tolkien legendarium when I was a kid.
Heading to Cleveland to see Return of the King with a live orchestra and chorus tonight, you’re all with me in spirit!!!
I wish I were there.😞
I did that a few years back in Orange County, CA at the Honda Center/Duck Pond.
IT. WAS. AMAZING!!!!!
Haha, my family and I were there! It really was amazing, especially the live chorus and singing. Most people left as soon as the movie ended, but it was so worth it to stick around till the very end of the credits music!
A lot of pretty hardcore Tolkien fans don't realize that after the war of the ring is over and Gondor is sorted out King Elessar returns to the north and rebuilds the capital city of Annuminas. So he actually rules the reunited Kingdoms from very close to the Shire, and Sam's children frequently visit there.
He rebuilt Annuminas and stayed there when he journeyed to Arnor but most of the time he still lived in Minas Tirith.
@@istari0 he definitely died there, in Minas Tirith.
Where did you read/hear that?
In the Appendix, it said King Elessar first went to Fornost to claim the crown of Arnor in order to reunite the kingdoms. Then he spent two weeks in Annúminas after which he made his way back to Minas Tirith.
@@Enerdhil various sources like the dropped epilogue to LotR where Sam's daughter Eleanor refers to him rebuilding his house in Annuminas. And various references in The History of Middle Earth. Annuminas is also where the council of the North was held. It also has to be assumed that King Elessar ruled from Minas Tirith and his son was in Arnor, remember Eldarion lived 120 years before he took the throne. He did stuff. He almost certainly looked over the complete reconstruction of the Northern Kingdom while his father finished pacifying the South, dismantled Minas Morgul and the rest of Sauron's realm and his former vassals.
There was an entire lifetime needed to repair middle earth. Recently I've heard the third age referred to as a post apocalyptic setting. I think that the best way to think of it. It's a depopulated ruined world.
@@shaggycan
Are you saying the Third Age or the Fourth Age was post apocalyptic?
5:05 you forgot to mention the game of golf was also invented that day. xD
Always LOVE to see in game stills from Lord of the Rings Online in your videos (i.e. the bridge of Tharbad at 6:40). It's been so amazing to travel directly with the Rangers and aid them throughout all the locations you discuss in your video. It always makes me realize how much that game's developers care about the lore. This video was terrific - thank you!
"...Wyland, Michael Woo, and Debbie."
Why is that so satisfying?
Don't forget starting out with "TomDaBombadil19".
Lissame the Cinda! :D
I love that part so much!!
I'd love to see a TV Show about Halbarad and the Grey Company, From Protecting the Shire, to the Heroic Death on the Pellenor to the Last Goodbye after the War.
I've said it before and I will never tire of saying, thank you so much for your PASSION for these stories!!!
What about a show covering how Aragorn’s mom and a band of rangers and elves help smuggle Aragorn into Rivendale while being hunted by the witch king and orcs. A high budget mini series
That's a movie, not a series.
There is good fan made movie called Born of Hope about Arathorn and his fellow rangers. It’s very good!
Yes, it is!
Isn't that a companion piece to The Hunt for Gollum fan film too?
@@michaelandreipalon359 The filmmakers of both of those works know each other and helped out on each other's films.
Production on Born of Hope started before that of The Hunt for Gollum, but as it is a much longer film, it was finished after The Hunt for Gollum.
The Hunt for Gollum was released a few months before Born of Hope. Both were released online in 2009.
@@grossepointemichigan Ah, then so it is. Good to know!
Yes, great fan film made with a small budget.
Hell yeah. The people of the Shire fell upwards at the end of the War of the Ring. They got a freaking Numenorian kingdom at the door. Thats a hell of a W.
The Shire got a "Scouring" too.
@@Enerdhil Yeah, they paid the price, indeed. BUT!
Thanks for continuing to post these wonderful slices of middle earth. I love them so much. Never stop 🙌
It reminds me of the allied island watchers in WW2. Living alone, surviving largely off the land. Watching but never being seen. Only a few know you even exist and only a few will ever appreciate the incredible sacrifice.
The Westron name for Dunadan was simply Adun, "westerner", but this name was seldom used. This name was reserved to those Numenoreans who were friendly to the Elves.
i loved learning more about them! the grey company quest line in lotro is one of my absolute favorites ❤
And with the new starter areas you actually travel with Boromir, interact with the rangers and learn more what happened to them when the ringwraiths invaded the Shire.
Always wanted to know more about the Rangers of the North.
Wasn't Bullroarer attributed with inventing golf concurrently with the decapitated head landing in a rabbit hole?
That is correct! In the game Lord of the RIngs Online, they even have a large wood-carved statue, in the Shire, of "The Old Took" with his foot on the goblin king's head while raising his club in the air in the style of a golf swing. LOL a lovely little homage.
Im here for u, for your soothing voice narrating everything about the universe of Tolkien.
This was excellent! I've been hoping for a video about the Dúnedain for a while now. I just wish the Grey Company had been included in PJ's films.
They need room for the elves in Helm's Deep that never existed and disappeared right after the battle.
Book fans: When will we see the Rangers in the movies?
PJ: That's the neat part: You won't.
PJ: But I will give you the Army of the Dead saving Minas Tirith! 🙄
We were never here, boys.
Well Faramirs Gondorian rangers are there. But there more like a military outfit of Gondor I suppose. Other than that it's Aragorn. Just Aragorn.
Biggest fumble was Tom Bombadil!!!
Eru: ‘How many names you want starting with an A?’
Dúnedain: ‘YES’
Finally bro these are the best men on middle earth.
What happened to the rangers after the crowning of Aragorn? Did they join the Gondorian army? Did they continue to roam Arnor but this time not hiding anymore?
They went to Narnia
Nicely done! Thank you for your work ;)
love your videos man
Probably one of my favourite groups in Lord of the Rings. Thanks for the video!
I would watch a series about the Rangers
Maybe Amazon will make one.🙄
I agree with the other guy. Make it a movie.
So if they did make this movie, what actors would you use? Let’s say 12. From any film era and in their prime.
Here’s my 12 in no particular order:
Clint Eastwood
Lee Marvin
Mel Gibson
Kirk Douglas
Charlton Heston
Sean Connery
Charles Bronson
Chuck Connors
Kevin Costner
Arnold (not even going to try to spell his last name)
Bruce Willis
That dude on Reacher (not Tom…the big guy on the series).
I would use Christopher Lee and Karl Urban but they’re already in LotR.
I would also use Denzel Washington and Jim Brown…but you know…sticking to a theme here.
Great videos, very informative.
I LOVE your videos! I wonder what is next. ❤ 🤔
Yeassss yes. New video❤😂
Thks nerd. ❤❤❤
I can’t help but think the Dunedain way of life shouldn’t be seen as “fallen” but how Eru hoped all Men (and Elves) should live. With having Mongols and grand cities as distractions and temptations.
5:01 And thus the game of golf was invented at the same time.
Absolute Best warriors😍😍😍, we need a movie about the Agmar war.
Do one on the Dunlendings please
Could we get a video about Eldarion, Son of Aragorn?
How? There's little to no information given by Tolkien about him. Just that he was Aragorn and Arwen's only son and he took over after Aragon gave up his life.
The only other detail I can think of is that he didn't live as long as is father... The long life of Numenorian's faded after Aragorn. Which I find interesting, as the pairing of Aragorn and Arwen should have restored some degree of longevity to his line, seeing that Arwen was of elf blood.
Actually Eldarion lives for about 220 years. He ruled for about 100 years.
I think The New Shadow coincides with Eldarion's rule.
I wonder what Eldarion would do if he knew Sauron's influence was returning to Middle Earth.🤔
I felt closest to them in all the groups in the middle earth.
“He’s one of them rangers, dangerous folk they are”
Awesome video!!
Never thought about it as Elrond effectively fostering his (great) nephews. What a lovely idea.
Yes! So excited for this one!
Favorite part of LOTR is when the Grey Company show up. Always gets me pumped!
Nerd, your videos are stupendous. I love the illustrations, especially the portraiture. Is there any chance of you merchandising the maps? They are so beautiful and detailed.
@NerdoftheRings has it ever been explored why the Rangers didn't;
Regroup in Tharbad or Bree ? Tharbad was a Numenorion City?
Why communication with Gondor was ceased?
Why they guarded Eraidor in secret? Surely Bree and Shire would have been interested in helping to keep their own lands safe.
I think it was because they finally had to acknowledge that the Witch-King had a major hard-on for all things Arnorian, and and after being so thoroughly crushed by him that any attempt to officially "assemble" would simply bring wrath and ruin on them, and anyone who was seen to be supportive of them. Their best hope was to decentralize, and bide their time until conditions changed.
Feeling like a superfan rn I ain’t ever been this early 😭😭
Man the kingdom of Arnor is so fascinating to me cause we know less about it. Gondor gets all the hype of course cause of lotr, but it's wild to think that Arnor was just as glorious once upon a time, so much so that the high kings chose to live there...
Finally a rangers of the north video lets gooo!
“And Debbie.”
Gets me every time 🤣
You Are the best CZcamsr in the world and your videos make me so happy👍🤩
Great video, don't be shy with the music though, it was a bit low in this video, I like hearing it in the background!
Learned in Vol 6 of HOME Tolkien's character which became Aragorn was an unusually adventurous Hobbit named "Trotter" not Strider. Who also did not go barefoot, he had Wooden Shoes!
After the Return of the King, things in Eriador were remained pretty disorganized for quite a while, and people were pretty scattered. For over half a century after the end of the War of the Ring, the Arnor Rangers were the Law in those parts...
The LOTR has great leaders and warriors but its the characters who act in the background I like best. Like the Rangers that carry on in their duties, living among the ruins of their history.
Another day asking for a Lindon video
Hey, quick video idea. You should do a video on the cosmology of EA. Like, the outer void, the universe, the door of night, the timeless halls (Whatever that is, I saw it somewhere). I think that'd be an awesome video.
It would be interesting to know how many humans actually lived in Eriador at the time of the war of the ring. I don't think there were very many of them. We know of Bree and its surrounding area of course, but other than that it seems there are only a few settlements here and there like fishing villages. The number of the Rangers probably wasn't higher than a few hundred. So I think the resettlement of Tharbad, Annúminas and other places would have required a rather substantial colonisation effort from Gondor.
Could you do a video on the three separate kingdoms of Arthedain, Rhudaur and Cardolan?
Sucks that they're not all seen in the films (though the 1981 radio dramas compensate). These guys are absolute brave lads for still going strong after a harsh fall and not having any dissident elements as is expected of remnants like them.
Would have loved to see their lives outside of the duty though. Am curious to have wanted to see their bedraggled families and communities, who should also be part of Arnor's remnants.
I really hope the Dúnedain gave good tidings for Bandobras Took after his fine defense of Hobbitfolk.
6:51: Didn't he still have the steed in the Jackson-verse films?
You know, if there's a Multiversal defense force out there in time and space, I bet they have some Dúnedain members on their ranks, because they're that good at fighting and also quite a pure intentioned folk. However, that also means they probably would have faked their demises, so to join a bigger cause and not be swamped by double duty.
The Dunedain was in the 1980s animation film
great video as always

You should make a What If video about if Sam claimed the ring for himself
Cool video! It’s cool to see how you’ve developed your voice acting over the years. Really great!
I love the music too! What is it?
This was a good one man !!
I’m always game for some Dunedain Lore
One thing I am very interested in Is the question, can Uruk-hai be good or become good? I got the idea of a Hobbit or a young elf falling into the mud in isengard and turning into an Uruk-hai. That's cause I way more familiar with the movies then the books though. I am sort of aware of that difference between how Uruk-hai are created in the books compared to the movie. The idea I had was the mud basically having a strange effect on either a kid elf or a hobbit as of yesterday lol. The Hobbit becomes a little Uruk-hai but does not recognize Saruman as his ruler. Saruman attempts to destroy the Uruk-hai but he escapes and wonders around in the wild. He first tries to return home but his people think he is the enemy and try to kill him. He ends up being hunted by men, elves, and Saruman's army. But he manages to survive and meet the fellowship of the ring. Who luckily end up accepting him into there group after he helps them fight off a group of orcs.
Love these videos so much.
when vr is fr fr like 80s and 90s scifi, i'ma spend most my time in middle earth
From teh very beggining for me the most interesting people in all the legendarium
Just love the lore!
A video about the women characters of Middle-earth would be nice - Galadriel, Arwen, Rosie Cotton, Eowyn, Samwise Gamgee's daughter (Elanor), and Lobelia Sackville Baggins. Anyone of them will do.
Under this playlist you can find the video on Arwen and also the complete travels of Galadriel czcams.com/play/PLLyHBx6FRJC3BymwVJUiHN-eDXgZoqLQc.html&si=nUpUIln2r77vS_Na
Don't forget about Ioreth💕
Love the videos. But I have always wondered. How did Gollum lose the ring in the tunnel for Bilbo to find? It seems odd that he would just leave it there. He had a spot for it in island. He should have been panicked well before Bilbo.
Gollum wore the Ring when he went hunting for food other than fish. He may have gone hunting that day and the Ring increased in size and slid off his finger without him knowing it.
Gollum didn't so much the Ring as much as the Ring abandoned Gollum. There's part of a conversation between Gandalf and Frodo that talks about this although I don't remember off the top of my head if that happened at Bag End or in Rivendell.
@@Enerdhil i guess the ring did something to gollum because he didnt seem to miss it until Bilbo did the pocket riddle.
This may seem a rude request and I do apologise. I'm in need of a GoT channel like this one where the creator has knowledge and doesn't sound patronising or like they're always speaking to children. NotR, I absolutely adore your content.
Perhaps try In Deep Geek. He does LotR, GoT, and The Witcher lore in a similar style to Nerd of the Rings.
AND DEBBIE!
Dunadain rangers i remember seeing them in war in the north and buying and playing them in LOTR battle for middle earth 2 they were much cheaper than Ithilien rangers.
Thanks!
ART QUESTION: image at 3:35 in - who is the artist? Same image returns at 12:20 in video.
Like to check our their work more closely; just need a name or site.
Another well researched, and presented, video. Thank you!
Where was the info on the settlements found noted starting at about 1:30? I have always thought that more settlements would be West of the Shire, near the Grey Havens.
I think it is from Nature of Middle Earth
I agree with you. There had to be scattered homesteads around Bree and the Shire to protect those areas, unless the Rangers were separated from the families and friends for years at a time.
Also, during that time, we know that there were Trolls in that region and, as it turned out, Orcs too. Not a smart place to settle down. South of Rivendell would have been much safer. Or even further west like you suggest.
Good work boss❤ more story videos 📹 👏
How did you possibly recount the tale of Bullroarer Took and not mention the invention of golf?
Read the books many times. I have the early movies and the more recent big-time movies. But I haven't followed any of the LOTR games or side movies/shows. Is there any sort of videos out there on the expanded stories, Utube or othewise? I would sure like to see that.
Aragorn: heloo, step-sister ...
Beautiful
I’ve never understood why they left and remained secret for so long.
Because Numenor was destroyed from within by the whisperings of Sauron, they were scattered and basically on the run. They needed to lie low.
This is great.
Does anyone know who led the Rangers after Arathorn II died and until Aragorn II reached adulthood? Maybe the father of Halbarad?
Gilraen?🤪
seems like they are similar to cowboys and vigilantes.
The game golf was invented at the same time, lol
