Aragorn | Exploring Sauron's Fear of a True King

Aragorn is the great hope for Middle-earth in the Third Age, one of Sauron's greatest enemies. But why would an immortal Maia fear a mortal Man? This video is an exploration of Aragorn's lineage and unique place in the world. It is an attempt to show that Sauron was wise to fear the Return of the King, the symbol of hope for all Sauron's enemies.
