So the precise conditions which led to the degeneration of Gondor is reinstated with no alternation? Who is to say Aragon will rule well? Because he’s a good man? Who is to say his descendants will rule well? Because of their bloodline?It’s a nice fairy tale, I suppose.

>‘But in the wearing of the swift years of Middle-earth the line of Meneldil son of Ana´rion failed, and the Tree withered, and the blood of the Nu´meno´reans became mingled with that of lesser men. STOP RACEMIXING.
>>215370836No, Aragon is better than his predecessors in every single way so everything would have moved forward, not backward.
>>215370836Sauron was the cause
>>215370836>So the precise conditions which led to the degeneration of Gondor is reinstated with no alternation?Yes.Who is to say Aragon will rule well? Because he’s a good man?Yes.Who is to say his descendants will rule well? Because of their bloodline?Yes.>It’s a nice fairy tale, I suppose.Yes.
>>215370836The literal, actual God of all creation send his emissary to crown Aragorn. I'd say that's a pretty good authority that he has the blessing to rule well.
>>215371021Melkor never did that.
>>215370836Elrond told you how it would go. It's like you didn't even watch the movie.
>>215371044Eru, faggot
>>215370879Castamir was right.
>>215370836he thoroughly outlined his tax policy and was voted in off screen
>>215370836>It’s a nice fairy tale, I suppose.it literally is
>Et Eärello>Endorenna utúlien>Sinome Maruvan>ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-Metta
>>215372088Why did his line fail then
>>215372176Because Eärndil was reckless retard and Argeleb didn't listen to the eskimos.
>>215370836>So the precise conditions which led to the degeneration of Gondor is reinstated with no alternation?Obviously, yes. The blood of numenor and the gift of the valar is ever fading, until all men have similar and normal lifespans, and they become basically us. And the renewed kingdom of arnor and gondor will rule for a long time, but not forever.>Who is to say Aragon will rule well? Because he’s a good man?Yes. And also because he just won a millenia old war and is the first king in a thousand years, he's basically a legendary figure that none of his vassals would even dream of rebelling against.>Who is to say his descendants will rule well? Because of their bloodline?Who does? Eldarion, it is written, was a good ruler as well, but who knows of his descendants? Eventually, they become normal kings like anyone else.
it should be more like this desu
>>215370836Gandalf doesn't really care about that. Sauron is defeated. Whether Aragorn is a good king is an everyday normal problem that's not his concern.
>>215370836>Who is to say Aragon will rule well? Because he’s a good man?Yes. Good men should have power, taken from evil men.
>Who is to say his descendants will rule well?Yeah, this shit is so retarded. What will confirm his legacy live on? Oh because he was incorruptible? What about Isildur?
>>215370836if you dont like high fantasy you can always go talking with that fat bastard rr martin and ask him about king robert's tax policies.
>>215370836What about Congress?What about Democracy?
>>215370836yes yes, we know. tolkien was hack and din't wrote the much needed the lord of the rings iv: statecraft, currency and trade
>>215370836>>215372306Gondor fell and went through years of decline because they refused to accept a king from arnor its in the lore bible
>>215372596no it's not it
>>215374064more likely it was their oposition to accept migrants from harad,mordor and Rhun which would have helped to revitalize the economy and stop the decay of Gondor's demography.
>>215372088Certified club banger.
ONLY ONE IS FIT TO RULE YOU FOOLS
>>215370836>So the precise conditions which led to the degeneration of GondorGondor went into decline when Suron conjured up a magical plague to wipe out the dunedain.
>>215370836There's an unfinished 4th age story The New Shadow which is about Gondor starting to decline again and Sauron-inspired evil cults. Tolkien found it too depressing to continue with
>>215370836aragorn refused the ring in the first movie when frodo offered it to him. that tells you everything you need to know about who he is and how he will rule.
>>215372895can't someone just make a new ring?
>>215374437Saruman was trying to but either got out of time or he needed the one ring to check how Sauron made it.
>>215374353This is what happens if Gandalf wears the One ring
>>215374437There's nobody left who can. The ring was only so strong because Sauron himself was strong. The strongest being left in Middle Earth is Gandalf himself.
>>215370836He didn't make the same mistakes, you utter fucking retard. He rejected the ring and was instrumental in its destruction.
The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, or something like that
