Re: Aragorn's Ancestors

Yes Indis was "close kin" to Ingwë according to The Silm, but according to the post I referred to above she was not DESCENDED from Ingwë -- so neither was Aragorn I guess. It was a nice theory because it ties all the lines neatly together in Eldarion, but it doesn't seem quite accurate.

NOTE: I don't think Aragorn was descended from Olwë, but Arwen was, thus their son Eldarion (meaning: "descended from the Eldar&quot

was the one who really would have united all 4 lines -- except Ingwë seems to be the square peg that won't fit.
