This video focuses on the context of the throne of Gondor, the events leading up to the films, and the reasons why Aragorn is accepted by the people of Gondor and Arathorn and his other ancestors are not. In this context, the story of the first Númenórean king, Elros, Elrond's brother, Sauron's involvement, and the exodus of the Dúnedain to Middle-earth under the leadership of Elendil are explored. In addition, I briefly recall the War of the Last Alliance involving Sauron, Elendil, and Gil-galad. Finally, I mention Elendil's descent through his sons Isildur and Anarion and how their houses were eventually reunited.
