[edit] History
In the days of his father, Arassuil, the Orcs of the Misty Mountains emerged again. Arathorn succeeded Arassuil, on his death in 2784. Arathorn himself was killed violently[note 1] in 2848; he was succeeded by his son, Argonui.[2]
[edit] Etymology
The etymology of Arathorn is uncertain. See Arathorn II for discussion.

Notes
- ↑ This is deduced from the dagger symbol (†) next to his death date in the Appendix A, although the narrative doesn't mention anything about his life; it's possible he was killed by Orcs, like others of his line.
