In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, the Rangers were two secretive, independent groups organized by the Dúnedain of the North (Arnor) and South (Gondor) in the Third Age. Like their Númenórean ancestors, they appeared to possess qualities closely attributed to the Eldar, with their keen senses and ability to understand the language of birds and beasts.〔Chance, Jane. ''Lord of the Rings: The Mythology of Power''. The University Press of Kentucky, 2001, p. 39〕 They were great trackers and hardy warriors—defending their respective areas from evil forces. The two groups of Rangers were the Rangers of the North and the Rangers of Ithilien. The two groups were unconnected to each other, though distantly related by blood. Tolkien's Rangers (and Aragorn in particular) are the primary inspiration for the Dungeons & Dragons character class called "ranger". ==See also== *All that is gold does not glitter *Dúnedain *Halbarad *Rangers of Ithilien *Rangers of the North 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ranger (Middle-earth)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
