Arasuil (S. "Noble/royal-greeting"?) (T.A. 2691 - 2722) was a noble ranger of the north who was the first son of Arassuil, making him the elder brother of Arathorn I. He was married to Eldarian, the father of a son, and ancestor of Elgarain. While sent away to Rivendell, Arasuil learned the ways of becoming a Ranger of the North, and would one day become the next Chieftain of the Dúnedain. Years later, he and his wife were assigned to lead a small company of rangers in search for Arathorn, who went missing. During the search, he and his company were suddenly ambushed and killed by Orcs.
