4A [[FanFilm fan-made film drama]] by [[http://www.actorsatworkproductions.com/ Actors At Work Productions]] that was inspired by a couple of paragraphs in the appendices of J.R.R. Tolkien's ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''. Set prior to the War of the Ring, this movie portrays the untold story of Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, and their people the Dúnedain in a turbulent time of their history.

8!!This Work Provides Examples Of:
9* ActionGirl: Gilraen tries to be this, and succeeds to some extent. Elgarain is a better example.
10* AlmostDeadGuy: [[spoiler: Arathorn]] managing to gasp out his [[FinalSpeech many last words]] despite being severely injured (including being ''stabbed through the head'') after traveling some meters through the woods to return to the village seems to show this trope quite well.
11** Also, to less of an extent, [[spoiler: Elgarain.]]
12%%* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe
13* ArcWords: "Hope," for obvious reasons.
14* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: Arathorn and Gilraen's son Aragorn is born about a year after the death of [[spoiler: Arathorn's father, Arador]]
15* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds: Seems to head towards a LastMinuteHookup but actually ends up with a [[spoiler: DeathOfTheHypotenuse]]
16* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy
17* FlashbackNightmare: Used to reveal the death of [[spoiler: Arador]].
18* FourthDateMarriage: Due to time skips, Arathorn and Gilraen's marriage may seem a bit like this.
19* HopeSpringsEternal: Pretty much the entire message of the movie. Also, at the end, when it is revealed that [[spoiler: Gilraen]] is telling the story to [[spoiler: Aragorn, she states that he will, for a time, simply be known as ''Estel'', which means Hope in the Elvish language of Sindarin.]]
20* LastGirlWins
21* LeaveNoSurvivors: Said by Arathorn during his RousingSpeech
22* LikeBrotherAndSister: Arathorn and Elgarain. For Arathorn, anyways. (See UnluckyChildhoodFriend)
23* LoveTriangle: At least two.
24* MookLieutenant: The central antagonist, Shaknar, is basically this--an ordinary Orc who's particularly good at fighting and orders the others around.
25* PreMortemOneLiner:
26-->"The line is not broken. There is still ''hope''." ''[kills]''
27** Also its [[RoarBeforeBeating monstrous equivalent.]]
28* RoaringRampageOfRevenge See RousingSpeech.
29* RousingSpeech: Arathorn to the remaining Rangers after [[spoiler: Elgarain]] is killed in TheSiege.
30* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: A male example in [[spoiler: Dírhaborn]] for Elgarain. Possibly also Elgarain for Arathorn, although that's more of a [[LastGirlWins First Girl Loses.]]
31* YouHaveFailedMe: When Shaknar (the Orc leader) kills one of his underlings.
