The "Rangers of the North" are a group of skilled warriors in J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth. They are also known as the Dúnedain, descendants of the ancient kingdom of Arnor. These rangers are known for their expertise in tracking, survival, and combat, often patrolling the wilderness to protect the lands from threats. Led by Aragorn, one of the last of the Dúnedain, the Rangers serve as guardians against dark forces, including the Nazgûl and other creatures of evil. They are characterized by their stealth, knowledge of the land, and commitment to preserving peace in the realm.
