Rangers: Where'd they come from, how did they live, who were they?

[Knight of Gondor]

I'm well aware of the stories in the Appendices of Return of the King, and even of the story of the men at Forochel. But as I recall, the men who dwelt among them for a time ventured out into the icy seas and were lost, along with several of the palantirs.

I think knowing Aragorn's history shows why he could whack so many orcs. He was the man!

This brings to mind another question. Is a person's skill is based a good deal on his heritage?
