==History==
He following his father, in Chieftainship, when Araglas died in 2455.  


Like his forefathers, he was raised by [[Elrond]] in [[Rivendell]] while his father [[Araglas]] dwelt in the wild.
His rule coincided with the end of the [[Watchful Peace]], when [[Sauron]] returned to [[Dol Guldur]] with increased strength.<ref>{{App|TA}}</ref> Also during his rule, [[orcs]] began to increase and multiply in the [[Misty Mountains]]; it was then when they revealed themselves, waylaiding [[Celebrían]] and her escort.<ref>{{App|Eriador}}</ref>


He became the [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] in 2455 at the death of his father. During his rule it was confirmed that [[Sauron]] had returned to [[Dol Guldur]], and the [[Watchful Peace]] came to an end. In [[Rivendell]] the [[White Council]] was formed, of which he became a member, together with the [[Wizards]] and many [[Elf-lords]].
Arahad died in {{TA|2523|n}}, after having ruled for sixty-eight years, and was followed by his son, [[Aragost]].<ref name="North"/>


Some time later the [[Misty Mountains]] were once again invaded by the [[Orcs]]. [[Elrond]]'s wife [[Celebrían]] was taken by [[Orcs]] and tortured. She later left [[Middle-earth]] for [[Valinor]].
==Etymology==
Arahad's name is [[Sindarin]], but it's etymology is uncertain. It contains the usual royal prefix ''[[ar|ara-]]'' meaning "king", but the ''had'' is a little harder to work out. It could be ''had'' meaning "hurl, throw", it could be ''sad'' ([[Lenition|lenited]] to ''had'') meaning "place, spot", or it could be related to ''sador'' meaning "faithful person".


Arahad died in 2523, and was followed by his son [[Aragost]].
