Arahad I

Arahad I was the seventh Chieftain of the Dúnedain.
==Biography==
Like his forefathers, Arahad was raised by Elrond in Rivendell while his father Araglas dwelt in the wild. He became the Chieftain of the Dúnedain in TA 2455 at the death of his father. During his rule as chieftain, it was discovered that the Necromancer had returned to Dol Guldur, and the Watchful Peace came to an end in TA 2460.
Some time later the Misty Mountains were once again invaded by the Orcs. In TA 2509 Elrond's wife Celebrían was taken by Orcs and tortured. She later left Middle-earth for Valinor. Arahad died in TA 2523 after serving as chieftain for sixty-eight years, and was followed by his son Aragost.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iii): "Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur"
