Still, a great short film. I liked this one better than Hunt for Gollum.
Gilrean was born around 2907 TA & at that time Arador was about 87. So when they wed in 2929 he'd have been around 109. The Chieftains were a little longer lived than the Southern Dúnedain. When Denethor was around Arador's age he was already looking old, although his cares wore on him due to confrontations with Sauron.
