has produced many of the noble Humans that inhabit Middle-earth,
including famous personalities like Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir
and King Theoden.
In J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth,
Humans have a complex history and have had to constantly struggle
against the evils that surround them. By the end of the Third
Age, where the story of The Lord of the Rings begins, humans
are the largest race in Middle-earth.
Gondor is the area close to Mordor and the humans
there bare the brunt of the struggle against the might of Sauron.
Denethor was the Steward of Gondor and his
two sons, Boromir and Faramir
play significant parts in the story of the One Ring.
There is also a neighbouring land of Rohan.
It is inhabited by the Rohirrim, a people of
herdsmen and farmers who are well-known for their horses and
cavalry. They are allied to Gondor and come to their aid to
break the siege of Minas Tirith, Gondor's capital, by the hordes
of Mordor. King Theoden ruled here, but was
weakened by the false council of Wormtongue,
his chief advisor, who was a servant of the turncoat wizard
Saruman, an ally of Mordor. Gandalf
freed Theoden of that evil influence and Theoden rallied his
people to resist Saruman and then Sauron.
One of the most famous humans in the Lord of the
Rings was Aragorn, also known as Strider. He
is the last decendent of the king of Númenor, and due
to that heritage, he lived far longer than a normal human. As
a child Aragorn was fostered in secret in Rivendell by Elrond
and when he reached adulthood he was informed of his hertiage.
Aragorn also fell in love with Arwen, Elrond's
only daughter.
He took up his duty as Chieftain of the Dúnedain,
the Rangers of the North, and made friends with the wizard Gandalf.
He fought the forces of Sauron for many years. Aragorn is a
central character that aids Frodo in his travels and later Gondor
and Rohan in the war against Saruman and Sauron.
