In J. R. R. Tolkien 's Fantasy universe of Middle-earth , the Rangers of the North, also known as the ''' Dúnedain of the North''', were the descendants of the Dúnedain from the lost kingdom of Arnor . Their menfolk ceaselessly patrolled the boundaries of Eriador , and usually appeared hooded and dressed in dark grey cloaks that were pinned with a silver brooch shaped like a rayed star, and bearing spears, bows and swords. Like their cousins, the Rangers Of Ithilien , they spoke Sindarin (or some variation of it) as their preferred language as opposed to the Common Speech. The Rangers of the North were led by a Chieftain, whose ancestry could be traced back to Elendil and beyond, to the ancient Kings of Númenor . During the War Of The Ring , the Rangers of the North were led by Aragorn , but the northern Dúnedain were a dwindling and presumably widely scattered folk: when Halbarad received a message to gather as many of the Rangers as he could and lead them south to Aragorn's aid, only thirty men were available at short notice for the journey.
