&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Youth===&lt;br /&gt;
The ancestors of Eradan were members of a noble family from [[Númenor]], who served [[Elendil]]. After the [[Downfall of Númenor]] they went in exile to [[Middle-earth]] and lived in [[Arnor]], where they served the [[Kings of Arnor|heirs of Elendil]]. After the fall of that kingdom they continued to serve the [[Chieftains of the Dúnedain]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Lord of the Rings- War in the North - Concept Art of Eradan1.png|250px|thumb|left|Concept Art of &#039;&#039;&#039;Eradan&#039;&#039;&#039;.]]Eradan spend his youth in a small [[Dúnedain]] settlement in the [[Angle (Eriador)|Angle]], while his father, [[Baranor (video game character)|Baranor]], served [[Aragorn]] as an [[Rangers of the North|Ranger]]. While Baranor and a company of Dúnedain patrolled the [[Misty Mountains]] he didn&#039;t return. After the loss of his father, Eradan was fostered by his uncle, [[Dunhir]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Life as a Ranger===&lt;br /&gt;
After he was grown up he started his training to be a Ranger. After only two years he completed his training and started to fight the [[Orcs of the Misty Mountains]] and [[Trolls]] who roamed the eas tof [[Eriador]]. Eradan gained a high reputation as swordsman and archer, and his skills as outdoorsman and tracker were exceptional high. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Aragorn doubled the defenses of [[the Shire]] Eradan served as one of the guards of [[Sarn Ford]] for many years under the command of [[Halbarad]]. In {{TA|3016}} Aragorn became more active in the Shire&#039;s defense. In this time Eradan impressed Aragorn with his skills and bravery. Eradan accompenied Aragorn on many of his travels, on which Aragorn taught him even more about tracking.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Eradan&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; In {{TA|3018}} he met [[Farin (video game character)|Farin]] and [[Andriel]] as they joined the guards of the [[Sarn Ford]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.warinthenorth.com/the-game/heroes/road-to-war/|articlename=The Road to War|dated=|website=War in the North|accessed=24 December 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===War of the Ring===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Lord of the Rings War in the North - Aragorn, Eradan, Andriel and Farin in the Prancing Pony.png|300px|thumb|[[Andriel]], &#039;&#039;&#039;Eradan&#039;&#039;&#039; and [[Farin (video game character)|Farin]] meet [[Aragorn]] in the [[Prancing Pony]].]]When the [[Nazgûl]] attacked the [[Sarn Ford]] all three fought under the command of Halbarad in an attempt to prevent them entering the Shire. They were defeated and most of the rangers were killed. After the attack, Eradan, Andriel and Farin saw and overheard a meeting between the [[Witch-king]] and [[Agandaûr]]. Agandaûr told the Witch-king he had assembled an army of [[Orcs]] and [[Goblins]] in [[Fornost]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halbarad sent the three to [[Bree]], where they meet with Aragorn in the [[Prancing Pony]]. They tell Aragorn what happened, who sends them to Fornost, where they have to stop Agandaûr&#039;s army before it attacks [[Bree]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Prologue&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After arriving in Fornost they are attacked by several groups of [[Orcs]] and [[Goblins]] and find a chained [[Eagles|eagle]]. After Eradan and his companions helped him to escape, he introduces himself as [[Belarum]] and explains how he has been captured.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Main Gate&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In regards of his rescue, Belarum decides to help them stop Agandaûr.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Outer Wards&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the inner wards of Fornost the companions meet with [[Elladan]] and [[Elrohir]], who&#039;ve been sent by [[Elrond|their father]] to scout Fornost. Andriel introduces Eradan and Farin to Elladan and Elrohir. After finding out they&#039;re appointed to deal with the same task, the two groups decide to work together. Firstly Elladan and Elrohir lead Eradan and his friends to the citadel, but latter on they take seperate roads.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Inner wards&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; But meet again - after surviving several ambushes - at the gate of the citadel. The gate of the citadel has been protected by Agandaûr with [[magic]]. As the sons of [[Elrond]] use all their power and concentration to remove the magical protection, Eradan, Andriel, Farin and Belarum protect them against an attack of [[Orcs]] and a [[Troll]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;The Citadel&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the Citadel tower the group overhear a conservation between Agandaûr and [[Tharzog]], who informs the earlier about intruders. Here, Eradan, Andriel and Farin are again seperated from the sons of Elrond. The earlier fight and kill Tharzog and his guard. After which they proceed to the top of the tower, where they find Agandaûr fighting the sons of Elrond. Agandaûr - seeing he is outnumbered - flees on a [[Fell Beast]]. Although Belarum chases him, he has to give up after Agandaûr creates a thunderstorm.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Citadel Tower&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Youth===&lt;br /&gt;
Farin&#039;s family originally lived in [[Erebor]]. But after the attack of the [[Dragons|Dragon]] [[Smaug]] they went in exile to the [[Iron Hills]], where Farin was born. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
News of the return of [[Thorin]] to Erebor reached the Iron Hills when Farin was still very young. Because there was a great nead for soldiers, Farin marched in the army of [[Dáin Ironfoot]] to Erebor. There he fought in the [[Battle of the Five Armies]], where he proved to be a very strong warior. For this reason Dáin made him a member of his personal guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Farin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Lord of the Rings- War in the Nortgh - Farin (video game character).png|250px|thumb|Concept Art of &#039;&#039;&#039;Farin&#039;&#039;&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Life as Dáin&#039;s personal guard===&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle Erebor was reclaimed by the Dwarves, and Dáin was crowned as [[King under the Mountain]]. Farin served him in [[Erebor]], and fought together with the [[Bardings|men of Dale]] against the [[Orcs]] and [[Easterlings]]. Somewhere after {{TA|3001}} [[Bilbo Baggins]] visited Erebor to meet with his old friends. In this time Farin met Bilbo, and the was very impressed of him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a messenger of [[Sauron]] came to [[Erebor]] in {{TA|3018}} and asked information about &amp;quot;[[Baggins family|Baggins]]&amp;quot; and  &amp;quot;[[the Shire]]&amp;quot;, Farin was very worried. He though that it was the task of his people to protect Bilbo Baggins and the Shire,  and therefore he did swore an oath that he would travel to that country and protect it. He searched for other companions, but none wanted to travel with him as Erebor was threatened by enemies. Therefore, he went alone after Dáin granted him permission to go.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Farin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===War of the Ring===&lt;br /&gt;
Farin arrived at the borders of the Shire and protected one of its&#039; access roads. He questioned travellers, and sent those who he didn&#039;t trust away. The [[Rangers of the North|Rangers]] heard of Farin, and [[Halbarad]] tried to resolve this mistery. Halbarad disguised himself as a traveller and gained Farin&#039;s confidence, who told him about his mission. As Halbarad was convinced that Farin&#039;s intentions were good, he asked him to join the Rangers in their guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Farin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:2011-12-23 00011.jpg|300px|thumb|left|[[Eradan (video game character)|Eradan]], [[Andriel]] and &#039;&#039;&#039;Farin&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Bree]].]]Farin joined the Rangers at [[Sarn Ford]], and became a friend of [[Eradan (video game character)|Eradan]], [[Kilaran]] and [[Luin (video game character)|Luin]]. Just shortly before the [[Nazgûl]] attacked Sarn&#039;s Ford, he met [[Andriel]], who was surprised to see a Dwarf among the Rangers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.warinthenorth.com/the-game/heroes/road-to-war/|articlename=Road to War|dated=|website=War in the North|accessed=3 January 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning he assisted, together with Eradan and Andriel, the Rangers while they were attacked by the Nazgûl. They were defeated, and many of the Rangers were slain. However, shortly after the attack the [[Witch-king]] met with [[Agandaûr]]. Agandaûr tells the Witch-king that he had summoned the [[Orcs of the Misty Mountains]] and assembled an army in [[Fornost]]. The Witch-king send him back to Fornost, to attack immediatly.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prologue&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], &#039;&#039;Prologue&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halbared sent Eradan, Andriel and Farin to [[Bree]], to warn [[Aragorn]] about this news. The three companions meet him in [[Prancing Pony]], and tell him what happened at Sarn&#039;s Ford. Aragorn immediatly sends them Fornost, to stop Agandaûr before he attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prologue&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Fornost]] Farin and his companions, Eradan and Andriel, find a chained [[Eagle]], captured by [[Orcs]] and [[Goblins]]. After killing his jailers, he introduces himself as [[Belarum]], one of the Eagles of the [[Misty Mountains]]. While gathering news for his lord - [[Gwaihir]] - he was taken out of the air by siege engines and sorcerers. Farin and his companions make a plan with Belarum to destroy the siege weapons, so Belarum can safely fly over Fornost.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Main Gate&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
On the top of Fornost&#039;s battlements Farin pushes two siege weapons from the battlements while [[Belarum]] atracts the attention of the [[Orcs]] and [[Goblins]]. The plan succeeds. Furthermore, they kill an Orc [[Sorcerers|sorcerer]] and retrieve an unreadable scroll.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Battlements&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Lord of the Rings War in the North - Eradan, Andriel, Farin, Elladan and Elrohir.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Andriel]], [[Elladan]], [[Elrohir]], [[Eradan (video game character)|Eradan]] and &#039;&#039;&#039;Farin&#039;&#039;&#039; at the gate of the Citadel.]] Further on, in the inner wards, Farin, Eradan and Andriel meet the sons of [[Elrond]], who were sent by their father to scout Fornost. Andriel, who was trained by them, introduces her companions to them and explains their mission. They team up to kill   [[Agandaûr]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Outer Wards&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Although seperating, both groups (with the help of Belarum) eventually reach the citadel of Fornost.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Inner Wards&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The citadel gate, however, is protected by [[Magic]], and [[Elladan]] and [[Elrohir]] need all their power and concentration to undo the magical protection. At the same time, a band of [[Orcs]] arrives which is succesfully stopped by Farin and his companions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Citadel Tower&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the Citadel tower the group overhears a conservation between Agandaûr and [[Tharzog]], the leader of the [[Orcs]] of [[Mount Gram]]. The latter informs Agandaûr that intruders have been spotted. Agandaûr commands the Orc to find and kill the intruders immediately, after which Agandaûr leaves. The group attempts to follow him, but is seperated again when Tharzog notices them and closes the gates. Farin, Eradan and Andriel kill Tharzog and his guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tower&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Citadel Tower&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the top of the Citadel tower they find Agandaûr fighting Elladan and Elrohir. Although he had the upper hand, he is not strong enough to fight Farin, Andriel, Eradan and the twins at the same time. He flees on the back of a [[Fell Beast]]. Although Belarum chases Agandaûr, the sorcerer summons a thunderstorm. After being hit by a lightning, Belarum return to the tower. They discuss the events concerning Agandaûr and Fornost, and decide to part: Belarum returns to [[Gwaihir]], the sons of Elrond return to their father in [[Rivendell]] and Farin and his companions travel to [[Sarn Ford]] to inform Halbarad.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tower&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Youth===&lt;br /&gt;
Farin&#039;s family originally lived in [[Erebor]]. But after the attack of the [[Dragons|Dragon]] [[Smaug]] they went in exile to the [[Iron Hills]], where Farin was born. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
News of the return of [[Thorin]] to Erebor reached the Iron Hills when Farin was still very young. Because there was a great nead for soldiers, Farin marched in the army of [[Dáin Ironfoot]] to Erebor. There he fought in the [[Battle of the Five Armies]], where he proved to be a very strong warior. For this reason Dáin made him a member of his personal guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Farin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Lord of the Rings- War in the Nortgh - Farin (video game character).png|250px|thumb|Concept Art of &#039;&#039;&#039;Farin&#039;&#039;&#039;.]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Life as Dáin&#039;s personal guard===&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle Erebor was reclaimed by the Dwarves, and Dáin was crowned as [[King under the Mountain]]. Farin served him in [[Erebor]], and fought together with the [[Bardings|men of Dale]] against the [[Orcs]] and [[Easterlings]]. Somewhere after {{TA|3001}} [[Bilbo Baggins]] visited Erebor to meet with his old friends. In this time Farin met Bilbo, and the was very impressed of him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a messenger of [[Sauron]] came to [[Erebor]] in {{TA|3018}} and asked information about &amp;quot;[[Baggins family|Baggins]]&amp;quot; and  &amp;quot;[[the Shire]]&amp;quot;, Farin was very worried. He though that it was the task of his people to protect Bilbo Baggins and the Shire,  and therefore he did swore an oath that he would travel to that country and protect it. He searched for other companions, but none wanted to travel with him as Erebor was threatened by enemies. Therefore, he went alone after Dáin granted him permission to go.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Farin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===War of the Ring===&lt;br /&gt;
Farin arrived at the borders of the Shire and protected one of its&#039; access roads. He questioned travellers, and sent those who he didn&#039;t trust away. The [[Rangers of the North|Rangers]] heard of Farin, and [[Halbarad]] tried to resolve this mistery. Halbarad disguised himself as a traveller and gained Farin&#039;s confidence, who told him about his mission. As Halbarad was convinced that Farin&#039;s intentions were good, he asked him to join the Rangers in their guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Backstory Farin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:2011-12-23 00011.jpg|300px|thumb|left|[[Eradan (video game character)|Eradan]], [[Andriel]] and &#039;&#039;&#039;Farin&#039;&#039;&#039; in [[Bree]].]]Farin joined the Rangers at [[Sarn Ford]], and became a friend of [[Eradan (video game character)|Eradan]], [[Kilaran]] and [[Luin (video game character)|Luin]]. Just shortly before the [[Nazgûl]] attacked Sarn&#039;s Ford, he met [[Andriel]], who was surprised to see a Dwarf among the Ranger.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.warinthenorth.com/the-game/heroes/road-to-war/|articlename=Road to War|dated=|website=War in the North|accessed=3 January 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning he assisted, together with Eradan and Andriel, the Rangers while they were attacked by the Nazgûl. They were defeated, and many of the Rangers were slain. However, shortly after the attack the [[Witch-king]] met with [[Agandaûr]]. Agandaûr tells the Witch-king that he had summoned the [[Orcs of the Misty Mountains]] and assembled an army in [[Fornost]]. The Witch-king send him back to Fornost, to attack immediatly.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prologue&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], &#039;&#039;Prologue&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halbared sent Eradan, Andriel and Farin to [[Bree]], to warn [[Aragorn]] about this news. The three companions meet him in [[Prancing Pony]], and tell him what happened at Sarn&#039;s Ford. Aragorn immediatly sends them Fornost, to stop Agandaûr before he attacks.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Prologue&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Fornost]] Farin and his companions, Eradan and Andriel, find a chained [[Eagle]], captured by [[Orcs]] and [[Goblins]]. After killing his jailers, he introduces himself as [[Belarum]], one of the Eagles of the [[Misty Mountains]]. While gathering news for his lord - [[Gwaihir]] - he was taken out of the air by siege engines and sorcerers. Farin and his companions make a plan with Belarum to destroy the siege weapons, so Belarum can safely fly over Fornost.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Main Gate&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
On the top of Fornost&#039;s battlements Farin pushes two siege weapons from the battlements while [[Belarum]] atracts the attention of the [[Orcs]] and [[Goblins]]. The plan succeeds. Furthermore, they kill an Orc [[Sorcerers|sorcerer]] and retrieve an unreadable scroll.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Battlements&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Lord of the Rings War in the North - Eradan, Andriel, Farin, Elladan and Elrohir.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Andriel]], [[Elladan]], [[Elrohir]], [[Eradan (video game character)|Eradan]] and &#039;&#039;&#039;Farin&#039;&#039;&#039; at the gate of the Citadel.]] Further on, in the inner wards, Farin, Eradan and Andriel meet the sons of [[Elrond]], who were sent by their father to scout Fornost. Andriel, who was trained by them, introduces her companions to them and explains their mission. They team up to kill   [[Agandaûr]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Outer Wards&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Although seperating, both groups (with the help of Belarum) eventually reach the citadel of Fornost.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Inner Wards&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The citadel gate, however, is protected by [[Magic]], and [[Elladan]] and [[Elrohir]] need all their power and concentration to undo the magical protection. At the same time, a band of [[Orcs]] arrives which is succesfully stopped by Farin and his companions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Citadel Tower&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the Citadel tower the group overhears a conservation between Agandaûr and [[Tharzog]], the leader of the [[Orcs]] of [[Mount Gram]]. The latter informs Agandaûr that intruders have been spotted. Agandaûr commands the Orc to find and kill the intruders immediately, after which Agandaûr leaves. The group attempts to follow him, but is seperated again when Tharzog notices them and closes the gates. Farin, Eradan and Andriel kill Tharzog and his guard.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tower&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[The Lord of the Rings: War in the North]], Chapter 1: Fornost, &#039;&#039;Citadel Tower&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the top of the Citadel tower they find Agandaûr fighting Elladan and Elrohir. Although he had the upper hand, he is not strong enough to fight Farin, Andriel, Eradan and the twins at the same time. He flees on the back of a [[Fell Beast]]. Although Belarum chases Agandaûr, the sorcerer summons a thunderstorm. After being hit by a lightning, Belarum return to the tower. They discuss the events concerning Agandaûr and Fornost, and decide to part: Belarum returns to [[Gwaihir]], the sons of Elrond return to their father in [[Rivendell]] and Farin and his companions travel to [[Sarn Ford]] to inform Halbarad.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tower&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
