-'''Strider''' is the alias of Aragorn, the "king" referred to in the third volume of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.  The return of the king to Middle Earth is a long-hoped-for event.  The decay and other problems facing the land are attributed to people who "had never heard of the king" or had rebelled against his rule.
-Strider is chief of the Rangers, and as the foster son of [[Elrond]] of Rivendell, sets out on many adventures of knights-errantry under various names.  [[Gandalf]] left a letter for [[Frodo Baggins|Baggins]] to penetrate his guise, but the letter was delayed and the two nearly failed to meet.  On old rhyme about ''All that is gold does not glitter'' establishes Strider as [[Aragorn]], son of Arathorn.
-The land of [[Gondor]] was ruled by a long line of stewards in the king's name, and his return was nearly thwarted by the arrogance of the last steward [[Denethor]].  He tried to kill his son [[Faramir]] and then committed suicide, throwing himself on a burning pyre which he set himself.
-The handover of power was accomplished peacefully, upon Faramir's recovery.  After Strider's marriage to [[Arwen]], Faramir married [[Éowyn]] of the neighboring kingdom of [[Rohan]].
