| The [[Two Kingdoms]] founded by [[Elendil]] and his sons were originally intended to form two parts of a greater nation of the [[Dúnedain]], ruled by a [[High King of the Dúnedain|High King]] at [[Annúminas]]. This was not to be. The loss of Elendil's son [[Isildur]] in the [[Disaster of the Gladden Fields]] led to a chain of events that separated [[Arnor]] in the north from [[Gondor]] in the south, and the two kingdoms continued to follow different paths through history.

| Arnor, the [[Arnor|North-kingdom]] of the Dúnedain, was ruled by the direct descendants of Isildur, beginning with [[Valandil (King of Arnor)|Valandil]], his youngest son. Though the bloodline of the Northern Dúnedain came directly from the old High King, theirs was a troubled realm. Internal strife and war with [[Angmar]] saw Arnor become fractured and eventually destroyed, leaving the Dúnedain of the North a dwindled and wandering people.

| Nonetheless, the line of Isildur was maintained through the [[Chieftains of the Dúnedain|Chieftains]] of this people. [[Aragorn II]] was Isildur's Heir through thirty-nine generations, and it was he who reunited the [[Kingdoms of the Dúnedain]] after three thousand years of separation.
