Arahael is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth.
Arahael was the second of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain, the son of Aranarth, and the grandson of Arvedui, last King of Arnor.
Arahael was raised by Elrond in Rivendell while his father dwelt in the wild, as became the tradition of the Rangers.
At his father's death in 2106 T.A., Arahael in turn became the Chieftain of the Dúnedain. During his rule evil lessened, as it was the time of the Watchful Peace, and the Dúnedain slowly recovered.
However, Arnor remained mostly unpopulated, and the city of Fornost was not resettled, going to ruin.
Arahael died in 2177 and was followed by his son Aranuir.
