Star of the Dúnedain

The Star was a silver brooch in the shape of a seven pointed star, worn by the Rangers of the North. They are worn by the Rangers that met Aragorn at Dunharrow, and is one of the only ways of identifying a Ranger as their other clothing was plain. Wearing a star was a great honour, and in Fo.A. 15 Aragorn gifted one to Sam Gamgee in honour of his role as the Mayor of the Shire.
