A descendant of the ancient kings, Aragorn was fated to one day reclaim the lost throne of Gondor, but for the moment he found himeself but one more sword amid the defenders of Rohan as they prepared for war. In this time of great peril Aragorn found a kinship with Brego, the wild horse of Rohan's late Prince Theodred, who had been cut down by Orcs at the Fords of the Isen. Brego was traumatized by the loss of his lord, but Aragorn's gentle hand stayed the beast's fear, and in time he came to bear the king in exile as faithfully as he had once borne the prince of Rohan.
