Arahad I (T.A. 2365[1] - 2523,[2] died aged 158) was the son of Araglas and seventh Chieftain of the Dúnedain.
History
He followed his father, in Chieftainship, when Araglas died in 2455.
His rule coincided with the end of the Watchful Peace, when Sauron returned to Dol Guldur with increased strength.[3] Also during his rule, orcs began to increase and multiply in the Misty Mountains; it was then when they revealed themselves, waylaying Celebrían and her escort.[4]
Arahad died in 2523, after having ruled for sixty-eight years, and was followed by his son, Aragost.[2]
Etymology
Arahad is a Sindarin name. Its meaning is not glossed. Paul Strack suggests it is a compound of the prefix ar(a)- ("noble", "royal", "high") and the lenited form had of sad ("place", "spot").[5]
