Envision the miseries of Aragorn’s day-to-day life: the constant wandering, the weathering of roaring storms, the uncertainty that comes with night, and the noises that rustle in his shadows. Imagine, if you will, stripping yourself of all your comforts, and walking through both woodlands and friend-less plains. Aragorn, joined by naught but the stars for company, has endured much. Withstood much. And, in truth, they are not all ghastly things, but through the passing of the years, the little things pile.

Aragorn, wrapped in his cloak as a pounding rain rumbles. Aragorn, staggered by heat at the height of summer noon. His back is propped against a tree when the late hour draws, and he sifts through each noise to determine what looms beyond. His boots are muddied and worn to the sole and his cloak is frayed and tattered, and those hands – calloused, rough, harsh – had handled far more than one must in their lifetime. He is of a realm stripped entirely of peace, where dangers hound your steps and sleep never comes easy. It says much, then, that he has braved it all nobly – and without one complaint.
