Ooh, let's see how much of this I can do without looking into the book...
1. In which chapter of LOTR do we first become aware of Aragorn’s existence? "Shadow of the Past"- Gandalf mentions a man, Aragorn, helping him hunt for Gollum.
2. What rank did Aragorn hold in Ecthelion’s army? He was a captain.
3. By what name does Glorfindel address Aragorn when he first greets him on the road to Rivendell? Dunadan! :D Forgive lack of accent...
4. In what year did Aragorn’s parents wed? IIRC, it was 4 years before Aragorn was born, so 2927.
5. From whom did Aragorn learn that Frodo had left his home carrying a great burden? Goodness goodness goodness... *wracks brain* Gandalf was already gone.. it was either Gandalf way back when in May or this is a trick question and it's Frodo because Frodo opened his big mouth :P Or I don't remember... :(
6. Name the two horses that Aragorn rides. Hasufel and Roheryn. Brego is a movie-creation.
7. What did Elrohir give to Aragorn at the Stone of Erech? A horn. I just reread this chapter for my crossover fic since this is the chapter I'm at XD
8. Who referred to Aragorn as ‘Stick-at-naught Strider’ Bill Ferny! ... *shudders* I sporked an awful, icky fic about this -_-

14. Before Aragorn set out into the Wild as a young man, what did Elrond forbid him from doing? Binding himself to a woman. Poor sod.
15. Which actor cast to play Aragorn in the film trilogy was replaced by Viggo Mortensen? Stewart Townsend. Thank. God.
16. Name three of Aragorn’s grandparents? Pshh. I know all of them. Dirhael, Ivorwen, Arathorn, Gilraen.
17. A book, made at Aragorn’s request, was brought to him in Minas Tirith in the year 64 IV. By what name was it usually referred? ... O.o Dang! Uh... a copy of the Red Book? The original stayed with Sam's family...
