Background of The Dúnedain

During the Second Age, the Númenóreans rose to the height of their power. They lived on the island of Númenor in the ocean to the west of Middle-Earth. They were masters of all that they surveyed, colonizing the coast of Middle-Earth with great cities. The only port that laid beyond their dominion was Valinor, The Undying Lands, where the immortal Elves and the Valar (servants of Illuvatar) lived. Seduced by the second Dark Lord Sauron (cloaking himself in fair form) and their own lust for power, the Númenóreans raised a massive fleet and sailed to conquer Valinor, believing that the land itself would give the gift of immortality they so desired.

As punishment for breaking their covenant with the Valar, the Numenorean fleet was destroyed and the island forever sunk beneath the waves, wiping out their civilization. A few of the Númenóreans who disagreed with the war against Valinor, foresaw the tragedy and escaped by sailing to Middle-Earth. These Númenóreans, known as the Faithful, founded the twin kingdoms of Arnor in the North and Gondor in the South. They were also permitted to keep the gift of the Eldar, enduring long life (though not immortallity), for their faithfulness.

The Dúnedain of Middle-Earth are the descendants of those few Númenóreans who survived. Though Arnor has been destroyed, and Gondor greatly diminished, the blood of Númenor has not all been spent. This kinship represents a small group of Dúnedain of the North, who still serve as Rangers in the lands where Arnor once was, now known more widely as Eriador.



Background History of The Green Company

The Green Company was originally founded by surviving descendants of Arnor and Arthedain after those kingdoms' downfalls. After receiving word that Aragorn, Son of Arathorn had formed The Grey Company and was working to reunite the Dunedain once again after more than 3,000 years of being scattered, the descendants of Numenor living in the North decided to unite. The Green Company became a sister-kinship to the Grey, aiding them in what ways they could in the fight against the shadow. Shortly after its founding it was decided to open its ranks  to free-folk beyond the Dúnedain, should they prove their quality.

Since then the company has attracted men and elves from across Middle-Earth. Their ranks now include men from as far as Rohan and Gondor, and Elven ambassadors from Lorien, Lindon, Mirkwood, Rivendell, and Edhellond. In the aftermath of the One Ring having been found, the Green Company now fights the growing shadow looming over the free lands of Eriador, aiding their Chieftan Aragorn in what ways they can before he departs with the ringbearer.
