Talk:Aragorn II Elessar

In "Early Life" it says that: "However, in the year T.A. 2951 Elrond revealed to the young man his true origins, and presented him with the shards of Narsil. The pressure that came with this revelation did not sit well, and that same year Aragorn left Rivendell, but not before meeting Elrond's daughter Arwen Evenstar for the first time in the woods of Imladris."

The basic facts, summary and conclusions in this section of the "Early Life" are false. Aragorn was in fact joyful and proud of the discovery of his lineage; it was his meeting with Arwen and his love for her that drove him to leave Rivendell. Elrond spoke to him and told him he could not marry or betroth himself to anyone "until your time comes and you are found worthy of it", implying that Aragorn could not have Arwen or anyone until he reclaimed the throne of Gondor. Aragorn left Rivendell to labor against Sauron so that some day he might become King and marry Arwen, not to escape the "burden" of being Isildur's Heir, which seems to be a plot element devised for the movies.

Would anyone object for me composing a concise and more accurate summary of Aragorn's early life in Rivendell?
