Aragorn meets Gandalf and their friendship begins

Event Type: General

Age: 3rd Age - The Stewards

Year: 2956

Description:
'For nearly thirty years he laboured in the cause against Sauron; and he became a friend of Gandalf the Wise, from whom he gained much wisdom. With him he made many perilous journeys, but as the years wore on he went more often alone.'
RotK, Appendix A, I, v, TheTale of Aragorn and Arwen

'Soon I became aware that spies of many sorts, even beasts and birds, were gathered round the Shire, and my fear grew. I called for the help of the Dúnedain, and their watch was doubled; and I opened my heart to Aragorn, the heir of Isildur.'
FotR, Book II, Ch 2, The Council of Elrond

'And my search would have been in vain, but for the help that I had from a friend: Aragorn, the greatest traveller and huntsman of this age of the world. Together we sought for Gollum down the whole length of Wilderland, without hope, and without success. But at last, when I had given up the chase and turned to other parts, Gollum was found. My friend returned out of the great perils bringing the miserable creature with him.'
FotR, Book I, Ch 2, The Shadow of the Past
