At his father's death in 2106 T.A., Arahael in turn became the Chieftain of the [[Dúnedain]]. During his rule evil lessened, as it was the time of the [[Watchful Peace]], and the [[Dúnedain]] slowly recovered.
Arahael's reign was uneventful (as far as we know), due to the secretive (and therefore now little-known) nature of the [[Dúnedain]], and the [[Watchful Peace]] which there was at that time. It is likely that the Rangers fought minor battles and skirmishes againsts [[orcs]] in order to keep the region safe.


However, [[Arnor]] remained mostly unpopulated, and the city of [[Fornost]] was not resettled, going to ruin.
Arahael died in 2177, having been Chieftain for 65 years, and was followed by his son, [[Aranuir]].
