  Arnor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien, Arnor, or the Northern Kingdom, was a kingdom of the Dúnedain in the land of Eriador in Middle-earth.
Arnor's second king Isildur (also King of Gondor) was killed in T.A. 2 by Orcs in the disastrous Battle of the Gladden Fields.
The people of Arnor were mostly wiped out by the wars, but the Hobbits survived in the Shire, men survived in Bree and probably other villages, and the Dúnedain of Arnor created new homes in the Angle south of Rivendell, where some of them became known as the Rangers of the North.

 Kings of Arnor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kings of Arnor through Amandil claimed descent from the Lords of Andúnië, and from there to Silmariën and the Kings of Númenor.
After Eärendur the realm of Arnor was split between his three sons, founding the realms of Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur: the elder line of Kings continued with the Kings of Arthedain.
Argeleb, 7th King of Arthedain, is thus referred to as the 17th of the Kings of Arnor, and Arvedui was the 25th and last King of the Northern Line.

 Third Age: Kings Of Arnor
Arnor was originally the northern realm of Elendil; his sons ruled Gondor in the south.
By the time his infant heir was of age the kingdom was irrevocably broken in two, and his descendents settled for making the wilds of the north their home.
This division was the downfall of the North; when the Witch-King of Angmar rose to power, long years of war ground the shards of Arnor away to dust.

 Encyclopedia of Arda: Dúnedain of Arnor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The North-kingdom of Arnor had originally held the capital of High King Elendil at Annúminas, and the Dúnedain of that land were ruled for centuries by the descendants of Elendil's elder son Isildur.
Before the end of the first millennium of the Third Age, the land of Arnor fell into dispute between the sons of King Eärendur, and the Dúnedain who lived there became divided into three realms: Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur.
Nonetheless, their chieftains maintained the bloodline of Elendil's eldest son, and Aragorn - among whose titles was Chieftain of the Dúnedain of Arnor - was his direct descendant through many generations.

 The Division of Arnor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In the succession dispute of 861 the Dunedain of Arnor were faced with a choice between the break-up of the kingdom or civil-war.
With the King dead and the succession disputed, it would be the duty of the chief ministers, princes and lords of the realm to act on behalf of the crown.
In the absence of conflict there was less scope for the crown to demonstrate its importance and to reward its vassals, or for a greater sense of unity in the face of an external threat.

 [ Daily Tolkien ] Razing Arnor: How real were the Dunadan conspiracies?
One implication of the division of Arnor is that Amlaith was not a strong leader, or else that his brothers had themselves become strong enough to not only challenge his authority but to secede from Arnor.
Arnor stood to gain nothing by an association with the Black Numenoreans, and because of its close friendship with the Eldar, Arnor may have retained a stronger tradition of hostility toward those Numenorean colonies which had supported Sauron.
If Arnor was opposed to such expansion of power and influence, or concerned by the extension of Gondor's borders right up to the Gwathlo, then it may have made sense to neutralize Arnorian concerns by eliminating the High Kingship.

 Ranger For Hire: Have Horse, Will Travel
The original Kingdom of Arnor was divided into three kingdoms in the year 861 by the sons of King Earendur, last of the High Kings descended from Elendil.
Communication between the Shire and the Gwathuirim after the end of Arnor may be the chief reason for why the Rangers kept a guard at Sarn Ford, the place on the Baranduin where the ancient highway crossed the river on its way from Tharbad to Lindon.
Elrond had been given the last heirlooms of Arnor by Aranarth (the Ring of Barahir, the Sceptre of Annuminas, the Star of Elendil, and the shards of Narsil) for sake-keeping, and many of the Chieftains of the Dunedain seem to have perished in the region.

 Champions of Arnor -
Arnor belonged to the Faithful of Numenor, and the people there long lived in peace and richness, but evil stirred in the mountains around them.
Evil came to Arnor, in the form of the dreaded Witchking of Angmar, a once mighty king of men, now a corrupted immortal spirit, embodied in a cloak, although nothing could be seen of him, turned into this form by the Dark Lord Sauron.
The Witchking overran Arnor, and ruined Fornost, Annuminas and Amon Sul, but Bree survived, and in here, some of Arnor's people lived, and their descendants stayed there, until the the dreaded hour: the finding of the one ring.
