THE GREAT FAMILY TREE OF ARDA

Tolkien is well-known for creating complex genealogies between characters. Great importance is placed on families, fathers of houses, and lines of kings. This chart 'attempts' to map out every character who is related (to Aragorn); from the houses of men and elves in the First Age, to the Kings of Númenor, of Gondor, and of Arnor. It traces the lineage of Aragorn, the House of Fëanor, Beren and Lúthien, Eärendil and Elwing, and on and on. Requires Flash.
