Here is a bit of obscure aragorn lore that will possibly be of use to fan-fictioners.

The secret dwelling of the northern Dunedain was at the confluence of the Hoarwell and Loudwater and was called unofficially [I imagine] the hidden fastness.

It is reffered to in a small bit of paper from the manuscripts at Marquette university.

JRRT deduced it's location apparently form the coment regarding bree that there were no ther settlements of men w/ in X number of leauges.
Sorry again no source recalled for this but michael martinez confirmed it for me and apparently Elvish and RPG master David Salo was in on the find in some way.

So at least you know where Aragorn calls home other than Rivendell.
